lyrics

I once lay face down in the river To hold my breath and count the shivers I was the only young man crying in the water And in the morning ma was yelling at my father But these days it seems the world’s talking ‘bout me Though they’re dancing without me But they say that I’m doing well They say I turned some ship around And it’s not that I wish I drowned It’s just that since I reached the sand I don’t know who I am Oh no It’s like would you recognize Morrissey smiling With the sun crawling up and hanging from his shoulder? Would you recognize Morrissey smiling Like I betrayed a broken heart for a quiet daze? Since I left my home all the past feels like I’m dreaming I dreamt I was a man whose soul was worth redeeming And I miss my family’s sad and graceful weeping willow tree And the mourning dove my first true love who cried her lonely tears for me And I recall one decent man Who said he’d been just where I am And so I asked this battered friend just what is wrong with me He spoke into my ear He said you have nothing to fear Except having nothing to fear And that’s your gypsy curse Oh yes
