[The Gourds - Promenade lyrics]
Promenade
Baby I remember the way you held my hand
I tried my best to tell you
But you wouldn’t understand
Now I think about you always and
To myself I say yer name
The way we were when forever
Was just another day
I traded yer sweetness for my loneliness
Yer confidence for my own regrets
Yer simple grace for this disarray
That’s my stock and trade
While you promenade
Sometime I’m singing to the ceiling
Sometimes I’m talking to the walls
Sometimes I forget this feeling
Ever mattered at all
But in the evening when the sun’s down
There’s sadness on it's way
Like a ghost that knows my address
And where I lay
Somehow my losing just comes natural
Like a southern democrat
Nostalgia haunts my memory and
Stands in my path you promenade to the city
You promenade to the shore
The gentlemen say that you are pretty
And promenade round the floor
Now I think about you always and
To myself I say yer name
The way we were when forever
Was just another day
