This song makes me melt everytime I listen. I’ve listened to almost everything you’ve put out - definitely to all the songs I’ve been able to find. Pure mastery, I love you guys.
Well my old shoes eat cotton And they dance for hours on end Nobody knows where I got them They always fall for that part at the end And you're here [?] Holding seats at the bar for his friends Old men [?] his grizzly white beard only so much money to spend When I run to the only thing I ever felt was mine It will give us an impositions upon hymns I could not find So I looked around for freedom and some easy place to sleep I remembered prayers and incantations And I loved you more than me (oh, oh, oh) You're little brother wears a ponytail Your orphaned mother faints I should've told you I loved you But the truth means so much less When I hold on to the only thing I ever felt was mine It will give us an impositions upon hymns I could not find So I looked around for freedom and some easy place to sleep I remembered prayers and incantations And I loved you more than me (oh, oh, oh) Oh and your voice is growing distant And the light in your eyes is still You want me to be a better man It ain't me you want it's him For it walks in filthy trousers And it floats in sodden creeks In the morning, come the sun, there won't be anyone but me (oh, oh,oh)
I heard it slightly different but thanks so much for your write up! Well my old shoes eat cotton They dance for hours on end Nobody knows where I got them They always fall for that part at the end And your hero dies here Holding seats at the bar for his friends Old men are digging his grizzly white beard Only so much money to spend I hold on to the only thing I ever felt was mine It grew guilt and impositions upon hills I could not die So I looked around for freedom and some easy place to sleep I murmered prayers and incantations And I love you more than me Your little brother wears a ponytail Your orphaned mother faints I should've told you I loved you But the truth means so much less Oh and your voice is growing distant And the light in your eyes is still You want me to be a better man It ain't me you want it's him For it walks in filthy trousers And it floats in sodden creeks In the morning come the sun There won't be anyone but me
