The Person You Want

歌詞

Oh yeah, I talk a good game But every time I try to play it I lose my house and my name Beg in the street for spare change Oh yeah, I pull a good trick Right out of my hat like I'm dead sure Then I fall just like pick up sticks All over the dining room floor Ah, just throw this old heart to the mad dogs One day you'll wake up and see The person you want me to be Oh yeah, I know what I know And sometimes I think that's enough for One little life on the road A suitcase, a skyline, a show Oh yeah, I'm always in here Behind the old boxwoods and shed doors Hiding my plums and my fears The old owners planted before Ah, just throw me like flax to the blackbirds One day you'll wake up and see The person you want me to be From this rooftop, the leaves and the sky All wake up from blind misbelievings And give it another good try The cardinals all landing and leaving Oh yeah, I want what I want A bird in the hand and a letter Signed and sealed with a cross, A kiss, and a promise for more Ah, I train like I'm training an old dog Loyal, determined you'll see The person you want me to be Ah, just throw this old heart to the Black Sea One day you'll wake up and see The person you want me to be
