Blue Banisters
(专辑: Blue Banisters - 2021)
There's a
picture on the
wall Of me on a
John Deere Jenny handed me a
beer Said, "How the
hell did you get there?" Oh, Oklahoma Mm-mm, mm There were flowers that were dry Sitting on the
dresser She asked me where they're from I
said, "A place I
don't remember" Oh, Oklahoma (Oh-oh) Jenny jumped into the
pool She was swimming with Nikki Lane She said, "Most men don't want a
woman With a
legacy, it's of age" She said "You can't be a
muse and be happy, too You can't blacken the
pages with Russian poetry And be happy" And that scared me 'Cause I
met a
man who Said he'd come back every May Just to help me if I'd paint my banisters blue Blue banisters, ooh Said he'd fix my weathervane Give me children, take away my pain And paint my banisters blue My banisters blue There's a
hole that's in my heart All my women try and heal They're doing a
good job Convincing me that it's not real It's heat lightning, oh-oh-oh, oh 'Cause there's a
man that's in my past There's a
man that's still right here He's real enough to touch In my darkest nights, he's shining Ooh-ooh-ooh Jenny was smoking by the
pool We were writing with Nikki Lane I
said I'm scared of the
Santa Clarita Fires I
wish that it would rain I
said the
power of us three can bring absolutely anything Except that one thing The
diamonds, the
rust, and the
rain The
thing that washes away the
pain But that's okay, 'cause Now when weather turns to May All my sisters come to paint my banisters green My blue banisters grey Tex and Mex are in the
Bay Chucky's making birthday cake Chickens running, bare feet, there's a
baby on the
way And now my blue banisters are green and grey, ah-ah Summer comes, winter goes Spring, I
skip, God knows Summer comes, winter goes Spring, I
sleep, Heaven knows Every time it turns to May All my sisters fly to me To paint, paint
