Memories Of Old Hickory

(albüm: Imaginary Man - 2015)

I know that you are near me, maybe now more so than ever I could find you
I know you're 22 feet tall and you walk around with angels beside you
And if you passed me on the street you would be there just like the breeze and then I'll miss ya
But I know coming soon I'll see you dancing on the moon my sweet Miranda

We could fly away to Jupiter and spend a couple years out in the darkness
Or we could maybe find the ocean where the sands of desperation never breed
I would stare into your Russian eyes so easily you captivate my motion
For the aching in my heart is only constant when my mind is in a dream

Cause I can't have you
No, I can't have you
You know I want you
But I cannot have you

Summer comes around again and I can see you dancing in the tall grass
I remember in old hickory when Madeleine and Shakey used to chase us
You would take the high road over Casper and I'd see you in the morning, yes I would
Another memory I've tried to shake away but sure enough it's back to haunt me, why...

Cause I can't have you
No, I can't have you
You know I want you
But I cannot have you

I wake up in the clouds again so I can see Miranda off to college
She says to meet me in the garden, I'll be there to beg your pardon finally
Don't you ever let me go you know I love you when you sing to me so quiet
If it were up to me I'd never leave old hickory, but it's not up to me
If it were up to me I'd never leave old hickory, but it's just not up to me
