Leaving you in the care of others I won't be letting you down Clowning around on the green of this town I won't be letting you down It's easy to draw yourself a circle Just trace it back to yourself A father who can't hold himself together A grandson who's just left the ground She's coming in for landing but you're leaving much too soon She handles disappointment like her mom And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away And to touch each other's hearts of palm Flowers on the kitchen table Not a dry eye in the house Someone knows you better than I do That leaves my heart in my mouth She's coming in for landing but you're leaving much too soon She handles disappointment like her mom And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away And to touch each other's hearts of palm Sunday Catholic morning after shave Coffee grounds there in the sink It's Easter and the bastards haven't left me But here is a song you can sing She's coming in for landing but you're leaving much too soon She handles disappointment like her mom And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away And to touch each other's hearts of palm And to touch each other's hearts of palm.
