The Essex Green - Our Lady In Havana Lyrics
Well I overheard an invisible voiceMiles away in a crumbling hotelIt said, this is a force like a moving skyI say, forget all you know, we gotta run and hideYou shouted out your heartacheNearly every nightAnd we can just pretendThat I can fill these shirts, these, inWith the holidayOn the cobblestones on a sign of shadeThe sun will fade all the shadows that you chaseAn impossible thing that cut your heart in twoSo take your pick, and I'll do the same for youA church on every cornerThe mormons and christians congregateI'm shrinking down to sizeFor the second day, I'm eighteen storiesAbove the seaI've got too many people on my shouldersA high rise over meA high rise over me...Well there's disbelief in the streets belowWhere I sold my story to a curround arrowWe took a match to the masterplanBrought me down to earth like a treasure in the sandAnd what if all the what ifs were a happy man?You think our hands are tiedBut we pen the chapters every timeYou gotta realizeA church on every cornerThe mormons and christians congregateI'm shrinking down to sizeFor the second day, I'm eighteen storiesAbove the seaI've got too many people on my shouldersA high rise over meA high rise over me...
