Joe Purdy - Troubadour lyrics
[Joe Purdy - Troubadour lyrics]
It’s chilly wind that blows
Church Street in the morning it’s a hard
Hard age resting heavy on my mind
And Hannah cries soft as the
Front door slowly closes
And she is not the only one I’ve left behind
Well, I can still see you
Dancing in the street light
Baltimore smile and rain drops
Dripping from your hair
Once I held you close and
You wrapped your legs around
I woke up in the night, it was not you
You were not there
It’ s not the end of the world
Just this country as I know it
I’ve been across and back
I’ve seen the high and chosen few
I will take the hit
Because I’m stronger and I know it
Take the cap off of the rocket boys
And tell me when it’s due
I’ve known lots of people, lots of drifters
Lots of rejects lots of clowns, lots of
Lovers, lots of liars, lots of thieves
And I have been the cat, I’ve been the mouth
I’ve been the closer i am like a vault
Your family's secret's safe with me
So forgive me if I drift off
In the silent folds of memories
‘Bout the battles that I fought in war
And the ones I’ve loved before
Because I have lived through darkness
Hope and lonely dying kisses
And I have seen the memory
Walk angry out the door
And I have been left for
Losers, left for heartache, left for money
And I have been left alone
Left behind and left for dead
And you can take the pieces
There and fight for recognition
But, I will take the memories
And silence in my head
It’s chilly wind that blows
Church Street in the morning it’s a hard
Hard age resting heavy on my mind
And Hannah cries soft as the
Front door slowly closes
And she is not the only one I’ve left behind
She is not the only one I’ve left behind
She is not the only one I’ve left behind
Church Street in the morning it’s a hard
Hard age resting heavy on my mind
And Hannah cries soft as the
Front door slowly closes
And she is not the only one I’ve left behind
Well, I can still see you
Dancing in the street light
Baltimore smile and rain drops
Dripping from your hair
Once I held you close and
You wrapped your legs around
I woke up in the night, it was not you
You were not there
It’ s not the end of the world
Just this country as I know it
I’ve been across and back
I’ve seen the high and chosen few
I will take the hit
Because I’m stronger and I know it
Take the cap off of the rocket boys
And tell me when it’s due
I’ve known lots of people, lots of drifters
Lots of rejects lots of clowns, lots of
Lovers, lots of liars, lots of thieves
And I have been the cat, I’ve been the mouth
I’ve been the closer i am like a vault
Your family's secret's safe with me
So forgive me if I drift off
In the silent folds of memories
‘Bout the battles that I fought in war
And the ones I’ve loved before
Because I have lived through darkness
Hope and lonely dying kisses
And I have seen the memory
Walk angry out the door
And I have been left for

And I have been left alone
Left behind and left for dead
And you can take the pieces

And silence in my head

Church Street in the morning it’s a hard
Hard age resting heavy on my mind
And Hannah cries soft as the

And she is not the only one I’ve left behind
She is not the only one I’ve left behind
She is not the only one I’ve left behind
