Iron And Wine "The Specter Of Jasper County" |
The girl down the street saw my ghost on the road But I sailed the backyard asleep in my boat Both paddles broken, no sail for the wind A bathtub, a bottle, to drown myself in And she ran through the town like the end was upon us Screaming like birds above angry high seas The newspaper boys pulled a high-dollar favor And my drunk brother sang of where they could find me The girl told the preacher her vision of doom He petted the Book said, �It's slightly too soon� A flashbulb, a nudge and I left my best dream And rose like the specter of Jasper County Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
