Joe Henry - Parker's mood lyrics

Where's my sock?

Where's my other shoe?

I didn't know what time it was

When I came o.

The only light in here

Is fmy flickering TV

Watching back at me..

Oh, my love is here to stay

Saints alive

And all the saints be praised,

I see them all around me now

They've been called and raised;

Their jaws gone slack.

Their yellow nails long and curling back

To scratch the phantom of ache

Of our lost days...

Oh, my love is here to stay

I came home this morning

I was dead on my feet,

drunk on the victory

Of my own defeat.

Now, I'm reeling on the ceiling

But what yard-bird law is this,

When a heart in chains is what remains

The prelude to a kiss?

God is in the details

Of the smoke in the air,

The devil, he's a pauper prince

Nesting in your hair.

The things we put together

The world will ear a part,

But I've beat them to the start

Alone the way..

Oh, my love is here to stay
