M. Ward - O'Brien...O'Brien Nocturne lyrics

rate me

Well we talked about old times

Like a couple of old guys

And took a little walk to the old baseball diamond

And along came O'Brien

With a guitar in his hand

Met us on the field with impeccable timing

He said I got a new song to show ya

Though it probably ain't gonna blow your mind

And the thing about O'Brien was

He could always make a string buzz like it was 1989

And I remember my old car and that old girlfriend of mine

It was a cracked wooden thing

He said wanna talk about old strings

It's been 10, 12 years since I last changed mine

And it says Sears down the neck

Had a little blood stain on the second fret

But you know it still keeps impeccable timing

And he said I got a brand new song to show ya

Though it probably ain't gonna blow your mind

And the thing about O'Brien was

He could always make a string buzz like it was still 1989

And I remember my first car and that old girlfriend of mine

And that's the story about O'Brien blew my mind
