Tim Buckley - Pleasant Street lyrics
[Tim Buckley - Pleasant Street lyrics]
You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go
You don't remember what to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street
The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies
You thought you were flying but
You opened your eyes
And you found yourself falling
Back to yesterday's lies
Hello, Pleasant Street
You know she's back again
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street
At twilight your lover comes to your room
He'll spin you
He'll weave you 'round his emerald loom
And softly you'll whisper all around his ear
"Sweet lover, I love Pleasant Street
I wheel, I steal
I feel my way down to kneel"
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street
You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember which way to go
You don't remember who to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember where to go
You don't remember what to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street
The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies
You thought you were flying but
You opened your eyes
And you found yourself falling
Back to yesterday's lies
Hello, Pleasant Street
You know she's back again
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street
At twilight your lover comes to your room
He'll spin you
He'll weave you 'round his emerald loom
And softly you'll whisper all around his ear
"Sweet lover, I love Pleasant Street
I wheel, I steal
I feel my way down to kneel"
All the stony people
Walking 'round in Christian licorice clothes
I can't hesitate and I can't wait
For Pleasant Street
You don't remember what to say
You don't remember what to do
You don't remember which way to go
You don't remember who to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel
You kneel down
