MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA - Play It Again, Sam! You Don't Have Any Feathers lyrics

rate me

You lift your skinny fists up in the sky

Packed a change of clothes and left in the middle of July 2005

But when the glass, it hit the wall

Mother cried and the cops were called

The day you said goodbye

Your father left his work by one or two

To a crying telephone his wife was on the other side of you

Really did it this time

The boy looks down and begins to cry

The day you said goodbye

And I know you’ve been abandoned

But don’t abandon shit on me

Just know like a winter white snow

You’ve been forgiven, come back to me.

I know right now that don’t mean anything

Your skinny legs bounced up into the sky

I tried to tell you to be careful not to jump that high

With your fingers crossed you fall against the ground

I saw it all, the day you tried to fly

When the red and blue lights made the scene

Your eyes were glazed and honestly can you remember anything?

But when the others ran away, I prayed to God they wouldn’t stay

But sometimes He doesn’t listen

From a father to his daughter

My prodigal child, come back to me

From a sinner to his Maker

Your prodigals' son is on his knees

Sweet God, please hold on to me

Sweet God, hold her please, oh please.

The day she tries to fly

Hold me, the day I try to fly
