Carly Simon - In Honor Of You (George) lyrics
[Carly Simon - In Honor Of You George lyrics]
How can I go on when every thought hurts I
Flirt with the notion of no more songs
My old familiar foe, self pity
Haunts me I´m stuck in some
Over-the-mountain town In a
Meaningless bar where fat hands
Round the steiners And
No one cares if it suns or pours In
An hour between trainsBarney puts
The record on
And the aimless rise to dance Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you i see you, George
In your apartment on Riverside Drive
Some fifty years agoYour fingers
On the keys Looking
For the songLooking for that hook Embrace me
You irreplaceable you
Who were you then? Did you have a
Woman? Were you hard up for cash?
Did you ever know you´d be
Heard in the middle distance
In some over-the-mountain town? Connecting to
The muscles of the dancers
In this close and smoky room
Who were you then? Were you sure
Of your tune? Or were
Your dreams and your courage all
Broken down like mine?
Now there´s something that clutches the
HeartA melody that stays Year
After year I love all the
Many charms about you
Above all I want my arms
Around you I´m already
Late for my train But I don´t think about
That I think of you, George At your piano
Sweating in the summer heat By the way
Did you get your girl
Did you by your house in the
Country? Did you wait for something
That never came? Did you
Die still waiting for
Your train? Don´t be a naughty baby, come
To mama come to mama do Some part of your
Heart twists and turns in mine Your soul
Rises There´s an angel in
Charge There´s one note
That weeps the truth And makes my life
Mean something Just for the length of Embrace
Me, my sweet embraceable you Embrace me
You irreplaceable you
Don´t be a naughty baby, come to mama, come
To mama do I will go home
I will try again I will catch
The train Catch another breath Move
Back to the piano and let the
Notes do what they´ll do
In honor of you, George in honor of you
Flirt with the notion of no more songs
My old familiar foe, self pity
Haunts me I´m stuck in some
Over-the-mountain town In a
Meaningless bar where fat hands
Round the steiners And
No one cares if it suns or pours In
An hour between trainsBarney puts
The record on
And the aimless rise to dance Embrace me
My sweet embraceable you i see you, George
In your apartment on Riverside Drive
Some fifty years agoYour fingers

You irreplaceable you
