Nancy

VERSE 1 Nancy braids my hair Stirs the milk into my tea I was a skeptic in my last life Now i’m living out the sequence of a dream I forgot Thru the good and the bad times Thru the good and the bad guys Dirt on her feet and in her hands The love that grows and mends Changes shape, never binds CHORUS Take my hand Take me to a place I’ve never been She’s a zephyr dancing on the edge of the world Where they’re growing Figs persimmon and peach REFRAIN Like a zephyr dancing at the end of the world burning up in the haze of the bleeding sun We ride through the Marigny newly gentrified while the second line marches by are we living or slowly dying? VERSE 2 This land is not my land Sunburned I hold the traitor hand One by birth and two by circumstance I’ve never loved anyone more or felt so alone Thru the boom and the bust times Thru the barons and bread lines Like the cities of the dead We sprawl and sink into the swamp But til then here we are CHORUS Like a zephyr dancing on the edge of the world burning up in the haze of the bleeding sun like a zephyr dancing at the end of the world We ride through the Marigny newly gentrified While the second line marches by Are we living or slowly dying? BRIDGE The cities change their face  Til no one’s left to say If things were ever better off before CHORUS Take my hand Take me to a place i’ve never been She’s a zephyr dancing on the edge of the world Where they’re growing Figs persimmon and peach Like a zephyr dancing at the end of the world Burning up in the haze of the bleeding sun Take my hand, come on and take my hand take me to a place i’ve never been, I’ve never been She’s a zephyr dancing on the edge of the world Where they’re growing figs persimmon and figs persimmon and figs persimmon and peach
