Joe Henry - Parker's mood lyrics

rate me

Where's my sock?

Where's my other shoe?

I didn't know what time it was

When I came o.

The only light in here

Is fmy flickering TV

Watching back at me..

Oh, my love is here to stay

Saints alive

And all the saints be praised,

I see them all around me now

They've been called and raised;

Their jaws gone slack.

Their yellow nails long and curling back

To scratch the phantom of ache

Of our lost days...

Oh, my love is here to stay

I came home this morning

I was dead on my feet,

drunk on the victory

Of my own defeat.

Now, I'm reeling on the ceiling

But what yard-bird law is this,

When a heart in chains is what remains

The prelude to a kiss?

God is in the details

Of the smoke in the air,

The devil, he's a pauper prince

Nesting in your hair.

The things we put together

The world will tear apart,

But I've beat them to the start

Alone the way..

Oh, my love is here to stay
