Joe Henry Go With God (topless Shoeshine)
I like when I can stand up here
When the night is cool and clear
And everything is at my feet
Nothing in my head
Words they seem so thick and slow
You can kill them all before they go
Watch them tumble down and spin
And leave them there for dead
And shine, shine
It almost shines like
You were here with me
Below me bandits make a beach
And they open mussels with their teeth
And try to find a little shade
To make 'em find their way
For all it took, it's my belief
We shouldn't waste one moment's (?)
I mean, what else we gonna leave our kids
When we're gone someday?
And shine, shine
It almost shines like
You were here with me
Now the trees all rage and come to life
The day gives off (?) but it takes a wife
Who carries on behind his back
Lets the rabble through
Time has run away with us
And it laughs at all the tears and fuss
Best go with god and let me trust
The ghost in here was you
And shine, shine
It almost shines like
You were here with me
