Shakey Graves - Chinatown lyrics
[Shakey Graves - Chinatown lyrics]
This heart of mine
Keeps decent time
Though my ears may be weak
And my eyes may be all but blind
I still have sense enough to fear
That I'm not much without you near
I've paid my dues
Loved one or two
But it still keeps boiling down to you
So choose to be my victory or vice
Either way I still want you here tonight
Heaven knows, it's hard to find another
Hell knows, it's got a home for folks like me
There will come a day
When the earth will cease to spin
You'll hold me close and say
'My god where have you been?'
I've been around, old Chinatown
Happily lost, but oh so easily found
Counting the stars up on the hill
Beneath some old moon
Humming my tune
I'll see you soon
Keeps decent time
Though my ears may be weak
And my eyes may be all but blind
I still have sense enough to fear
That I'm not much without you near
I've paid my dues
Loved one or two
But it still keeps boiling down to you
So choose to be my victory or vice
Either way I still want you here tonight
Heaven knows, it's hard to find another
Hell knows, it's got a home for folks like me
There will come a day
When the earth will cease to spin
You'll hold me close and say
'My god where have you been?'
I've been around, old Chinatown
Happily lost, but oh so easily found
Counting the stars up on the hill
Beneath some old moon
Humming my tune
I'll see you soon
