|
Leaving you in the care of others |
|
I won't be letting you down |
|
Clowning around on the green of this town |
|
I won't be letting you down |
|
It's easy to draw yourself a circle |
|
Just trace it back to yourself |
|
A father who can't hold himself together |
|
A grandson who's just left the ground |
|
She's coming in for landing but you're leaving much too soon |
|
She handles disappointment like her mom |
|
And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away |
|
And to touch each other's hearts of palm |
|
Flowers on the kitchen table |
|
Not a dry eye in the house |
|
Someone knows you better than I do |
|
That leaves my heart in my mouth |
|
Chorus |
|
Sunday Catholic morning after shave |
|
Coffee grounds there in the sink |
|
It's Easter and the bastards haven't left me |
|
But here is a song you can sing |
|
Chorus |
|
And to touch each other's hearts of palm. |
