Da Circle - Molasses Sandwiches lyrics
[Da Circle - Molasses Sandwiches lyrics]
I had to sell all the
Stopped for a night out in a hotel in Bangkok
Was great to see
And this is the part that I'd like to change
I should have drank with that old man
I'm so messed up from the flight last night
I couldn't shake it off all day
And in that way i won't forget it
We flew out to Dubai
It was a most pleasant flight
Thanks to the crew at Emirates
Business class, so thank you thank you
And this is the part that I'd like to change
It would've been easy enough to arrange
In retrospect we should have stayed
If not two than at least a day
And in that way i won't forget it
Dad met us in Beirut
Most airports are the same
Boarding passes, passport control
Customs, last chance duty-free
"Why are you here, where are you staying
You didn't need a visa for Lebanon
You were born here, welcome home son"
And this is the part that I'd like to change
'Cause twenty-four years was way too long
Think of the friends that I could have made
Think of the songs that I would have sung
And in that way i won't forget it
Tam stayed quiet the whole time
Shes wasn't feeling very great
First trimester morning sickness got
The best of her plus the language barrier
Thirty-nine degree
Ninety-nine percent humidity
Oh please, oh please
We drove to the mountains to see the trees
They're really proud of the cedar trees
And we sat underneath the trees
With my cousin and his molasses sandwiches
Returning, underneath the cedar trees
Underneath the cedar tree
And this is the part that I'd keep the same
'Cause there are things you
Don't need to change
Even though he's a little insane
He's got to get out of that crazy place
And in that way i won't forget him
My uncle had to leave he lives in
As the days etched ever
Closer to his departure
Well it got heavy, so very heavy
He was a great support he is a spiritual man
And my grandmother's very sick
She is sick but she is strong
Even the most ready hold on
She's eighty-six, eighty-six
She's the reason I got on that first plane
Faced my fear of flying time and time again
And this is the part that I'd like to change
'Cause twenty-four years was way too long
Think of the friends that I could have made
Think of the songs that I would have sung
And in that way and in that way
I said good-bye oh how I cried
I said good-bye for the last time
