Testo Straw Man - Live - David Berkeley
Testo della canzone Straw Man - Live (David Berkeley), tratta dall'album Live from Fez
Quiet, lonely day
On America's highway
And travelling takes its toll
The blacktop's windy road
Didn't open up her soul
The way I thought it would
And I don't think that's good
Guess I thought it would have been
The best she'd see
Yeah, the straw man's off the clock
She's waiting for his knock
In her underwear
His foot falls on the stair
She greets him with a glare
That says he'll have to fall
But with her back up against the wall
She suddenly recalled
The straw man's just her dream
And it's never quite so clean
She makes the world around me seem
Lavender and wintergreen
When we're side by side
Yeah, the straw man's been let loose
Dreams have been reduced
By a quest for fame
Still the straw man feels no pain
She realized in shame
And then the game is back
Then blue fades into black
Time takes back the slack
She had when just seventeen
And it's never quite so clean
I make the world around her seem
Lavender and wintergreen
When we're side by side
Yeah, quiet, lonely day
On America's highway
And I am almost home
Pick up the phone
Say that living life alone
Ain't how the story ends
'Cause I am here to mend
How much can she bend
'Til on my side she'll lean
And it's never quite so clean
She makes the world around me seem
Lavender and wintergreen
When we're side by side
When we're side by side
When we're side by side
That's Alex Weinstein right there on the guitar
We're gonna do a song of my friend Ty's right now
That is called "Racing Stripe Winter"
