Odds & Evens
from Odds & Evens - Single by THE HIGH WIRE
lyrics
Curl your lip and strum country to me
Well you took to it so fast
While I was so slow
You held my hand
But now I'm so old
Got to start from somewhere
So I'll start from the grave
We’ll count the steps along the way
Curl your lip and make me want to live
For one more day
Make me want to sleep
Through one more night
I owe everything
Debts I can't escape til the day I die
Got to start from somewhere
So I'll start from the grave
We’ll count the steps along the way
Odds for a christening
And evens, a wedding day
Walk me from St. Giles to St. James
Here in your shadow
You keep me from getting burned
Got to start from somewhere
So I'll start from the grave
We’ll count the steps along the way
Odds for a christening
And evens, a wedding day
Walk me from St. Giles to St. James
Well you took to it so fast
While I was so slow
You held my hand
But now I'm so old
Got to start from somewhere
So I'll start from the grave
We’ll count the steps along the way
Curl your lip and make me want to live
For one more day
Make me want to sleep
Through one more night
I owe everything
Debts I can't escape til the day I die
Got to start from somewhere
So I'll start from the grave
We’ll count the steps along the way
Odds for a christening
And evens, a wedding day
Walk me from St. Giles to St. James
Here in your shadow
You keep me from getting burned
Got to start from somewhere
So I'll start from the grave
We’ll count the steps along the way
Odds for a christening
And evens, a wedding day
Walk me from St. Giles to St. James
