Landlady
(专辑: Songs Of Experience - 2017)
Roam, the
phone is where I
live 'til I
get home And when the
doorbell rings you tell me that I
have a
key I
ask you, how you know it's me The
road, no road without a
turn and if there was The
road would be too long What keeps us standing in this view Is the
view that we can be brand new The
landlady takes me up in the
air I
go, I
go where I
would not dare The
landlady shows me the
stars up there I'm weightless, weightless when she is there And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant 'Cause when I
was broke, it was you that always paid the
rent Space, her place is where I
found my parking space And when I'm losing ground, you know she gives it back to me She whispers "don't do, just be" The
landlady takes me up in the
air I
go, I
go where I
would not dare The
landlady shows me the
stars up there I'm weightless, weightless when she is there And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant 'Cause when I
was broke, it was you that always paid the
rent Every wave that broke me Every song that wrote me Every dawn that woke me Was to get me home to you, see Every soul that left me Every heart that kept me The
strangers that protected me To bring me back to you Every magic potion Every false emotion How unswerving our devotion To the
lies we know are almost true Every sweet confusion Every grand illusion I
will win and call it losing If the
prize is not for you
