Peter Mulvey - Old Simon Stimson şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Peter Mulvey

albüm: Notes From Elsewhere


Old Simon Stimson was once in love with me
When I was solid as a smokescreen, bluer than a tree.
But all of this has changed and now I'm faster than a clam--
I'm sober as a churchkey, just as happy as I am.
Once I could get by on the forty-dollar dole
In a carton made of duct tape on a pallet on the floor
Bottle empties quick these days, and flim has come to flam.
But it's kind of hard to tell when you're as happy as I am.
Brilliant as a box of hammers, fragile as the moon,
Stylish as a jaybird, sneaky as a spoon.
Heavy as the bluest note, true as any sham,
Safe as a house on fire, just as happy as I am.
I was dreaming that you were what I was dreaming of,
Louder than a lighthouse that's been whispering of love,
Funny as the Pope on fire, ferocious as a lamb,
And all I hope... is that you... are...
As stormy as a teacup, as fragile as the moon,
Stylish as a jaybird, sneaky like a spoon.
Heavy as the bluest note, true as any sham,
Safe as a house on fire, just as happy as I am.
All I hope is that you are as happy as I am.
