Yellow Hammers - When Lynda Was Fun
It was a day like today
that your mama died
It was cold and show fell
so deep that you stayed inside
and no, I don't know how it feels
anymore than you know how it feels
to long for you
and I long for you
It was a night like last night
that you headed west
You travelled light
like your heart
you gave your past a rest
when your luggage came you broke down
you had it packed away
but not for long
tell me what's wrong
Roseangelie
How do I get to Roseandelie?
How do I get to you?
It was a week ago last week
in a parking lot
we were standing still
we were going nowhere
That's when I found out
the evil that lurks
behind even the best man
couldn't help but find me in the end.
That's what you said
Where did I leave her?
Was it in Mississippi?
Maybe it was Chicago
Or Los Angeles
that your mama died
It was cold and show fell
so deep that you stayed inside
and no, I don't know how it feels
anymore than you know how it feels
to long for you
and I long for you
It was a night like last night
that you headed west
You travelled light
like your heart
you gave your past a rest
when your luggage came you broke down
you had it packed away
but not for long
