Emmy The Great - Dylan lyrics
[Emmy The Great - Dylan lyrics]
I pray for rain
Because I'm trying to find God
And make Him cry because I'm dying
In a fire beneath my covers
And somewhere out across the way
You ask for salt across a plate
And you can't find a word to say
To your own brother
And you could call me over now
And we could fix this with our mouths
But, you don't buy the farm if
You can't afford the cow
And you say Dylan is a sentiment
That you don't want to share
And you say you looked back in anger
And it rose to meet your stare
And you say I am not the one
Who put the bullet to your gun
And made it flare
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you
And you don't want to share
You say you're looking for the truth
Like you've got rifles in your books
But up above your parents' roof
I saw no star tonight
Only the black from whence you came
And where they'll send you back again
And no blue plaque will keep your name
From falling out of sight
And you could wage this war of one
And I am still the only one
Who will remember you when you are gone
But, you say Dylan is a sentiment
That you don't want to share
And you say you looked back in anger
And it rose to meet your stare
And you say I am not the one
Who put the bullet to the gun
And made it flare
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you
And you don't want to share
Oh and all the things you talk about
But never say to me
And all the things to talk about
That I could say to you
Like, reading an Italian book
From the 13th century is not that hard to do
And I am not the kind
Who puts their toe against the line
And makes it tear
But this could be the thing
That puts the blood into your skin
And keeps it there
And you say Dylan is a sentiment
That no one else will ever understand
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you
But, you are only just a man
Because I'm trying to find God
And make Him cry because I'm dying
In a fire beneath my covers
And somewhere out across the way
You ask for salt across a plate
And you can't find a word to say
To your own brother
And you could call me over now
And we could fix this with our mouths
But, you don't buy the farm if
You can't afford the cow
And you say Dylan is a sentiment
That you don't want to share
And you say you looked back in anger
And it rose to meet your stare
And you say I am not the one
Who put the bullet to your gun
And made it flare
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you
And you don't want to share
You say you're looking for the truth
Like you've got rifles in your books
But up above your parents' roof
I saw no star tonight
Only the black from whence you came
And where they'll send you back again
And no blue plaque will keep your name
From falling out of sight
And you could wage this war of one
And I am still the only one
Who will remember you when you are gone
But, you say Dylan is a sentiment
That you don't want to share
And you say you looked back in anger
And it rose to meet your stare
And you say I am not the one
Who put the bullet to the gun
And made it flare
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you
And you don't want to share
Oh and all the things you talk about
But never say to me
And all the things to talk about
That I could say to you
Like, reading an Italian book
From the 13th century is not that hard to do
And I am not the kind

And makes it tear
But this could be the thing

And keeps it there
And you say Dylan is a sentiment
That no one else will ever understand
And you say Dylan is a sentiment to you
But, you are only just a man
