Joe Henry - Rough And Tumble lyrics

rate me

Here's that rainy day

That you said was bound to come,

Funny—now you took my hat

I can still feel it like it's on;

O baby I wonder how

You ever learned to play so rough,

You left me with everything

Knowing it would never be enough

Now I remember—you told me so,

You're so rough and tumble, and now I know

I had a dream of you

And I'll tell you what I can

Your face was a brilliant mask

--it came off in my hand;

O baby I wonder how

You ever learned to play so rough

You left me with everything

Knowing it would never be enough

Now I remember—

I take my coffee now

At the window by the stove,

The afternoon is dark

As the shadows grow;

O baby I wonder how

You ever got so tough,

To leave me with everything

Knowing it would never be enough

Now I remember--
