Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Don't Worry Desmond Dekker lyrics

rate me

what happened up on Hemming's Way well

we will never change

you used to be a friend of mine

the last 5 years went by so fast

so fast I find it strange

the beneficial medicine of time

and I, I can hear your laughter

it stays with me after all this time

and I still got your records

clash and the selector

and don’t worry Desmond Dekker's doin’ fine

but doors were shut

the lines were cut

the walls went up so quick

the windows of opportunity were small

Brides collapsed

Divides were wide

sides we had to pick

And oh yeah, I forgot to call

I, I can hear laughter

it stays with me after all this time

and I still got your records

clash and the selector

and don’t worry Desmond Dekker's doin’ fine

seeds to the roots to the trunk to the truth

it’s understanding when it first began

in the day up to the sky

we climbed up so high

and we carried on the only way we can

laugh on and live

learn how to forgive

what we have could be as good as what we get

if you forgot

now I am still gone

what you gave to me back when we first met

what you gave to me back when we first met

I, I can hear laughter

it stays with me after all this time

and I still got your records

clash and the selector

and don’t worry Desmond Dekker's doin’ fine
