lyrics

some days begin with applause and weakness
some appetites are fed entire seasons
I ain't no orphan, just real hungry
know how it feels when somebody loves me

you're still forgetful, still sentimental
playing me fragments on the piano
maybe you don't know or you don't want to
raised by trouble, working for the ghosts that haunt you

I want to feel a little faith that we're not all wrong
one day you're gonna come to rest in my loving arms
one day I want to bring us all back home

I held my baby all through his fever
some dusty vinyl made us believers
in mountain bluebirds and valley gospel
three lovers singing outside the hospital

each of us children just bound to wander
the water's deeper, the days are longer
I want to keep our hearts savage as summer
I want to shake you down like a mile of black thunder
