Jolie Holland - Catalpa Waltz lyrics

rate me

I waltzed this whole town

Through every nook and corner

And cranny and bar

I know you're out there somewhere

Wherever you are

Maybe the sun will rise

I saw it go down

And scattered its golden light

Across the ground

I held you in the alley

My hand on your waist

And your eyes were like diamonds

With the light on your face

Your gentle soul was open to me

And I am so in love

With who you be

With who you be

I always will love

To waltz across this city with you

From the rising of the moon

To the falling of the dew

There's a young catalpa tree

Out behind the record store

I'll always remember

The way you looked at me

Your light was so pure

I could hear the door of our fate creaking ajar

I could hear the key in the hand of God

Turning inside the lock
