4th Of July |
|
Today's the fourth of july |
|
Another june has gone by |
|
And when they light up our town i just think |
|
What a waste of gunpowder and sky |
|
I'm certain that i am alone |
|
In harbouring thoughts of our home |
|
It's one of my faults that i can't quell my past |
|
I ought to have gotten it gone |
|
Oh, baby, i wonder - |
|
If when you are older - |
|
Someday- |
|
You'll wake up |
|
And say, 'my god, i should have told her - |
|
What would it take? |
|
But now here i am and the world's gotten colder |
|
And she's got the river down which i sold her.' |
|
So that's today's memory lane |
|
With all the pathos and pain |
|
Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless |
|
And they're always the same |
|
A verse, then a verse, and refrain |
|
Oh, baby, i wonder - |
|
If when you are older - |
|
Someday- |
|
You'll wake up |
|
And say, 'my god, i should have told her - |
|
What would it take? |
|
But now here i am and the world's gotten colder |
|
And she's got the river down which i sold her.' |
