Motherfolk Tune For Me
All my lovers tend to leave me
Hanging by a thread with not much to hold
But that's been okay for me
The nights I get lonely
As sad as it may seem
The sun's been waking up much sooner
Shining that light right into my eyes
I think maybe it's all a lie
And everything's just fine
Yeah I think that I'm alright
So help me put something together
A piece of art that truly matters
And you can find your own meaning
To me, it don't mean anything
I found a brand new way to move
Bust out my tie and my best suit
And brown leather dancing shoes
And that gave me much more room to breathe
I wrote a song and I did sing
A tune
I gave my sleeping to a tall girl
And I admit I still sing some songs for her
She was warm just like the summer
And God knows that I loved her
In spite of all her spite
And now I'm living for this new one
She loves me day by day, and that's how I progress
I swear she'll bear my name
But I'll never love the same way I did last July
I built my castle in the sand
'Cause I swear that's all I had
Lying on the beach
So help me put something together
A piece of art that truly matters
And you can find your own meaning
To me, it don't mean anything
God I miss those good days
When spring was warm, and summer wasn't far away
And I just told her "Don't be afraid"
But those days have come and gone
