So Long to the Headstrong (First Collection 2006-2009. 2018)

Текст песни Fleet Foxes - So Long to the Headstrong (First Collection 2006-2009. 2018)

This morning I received airmail letter three
From my connection overseas
I pulled the paper back
You begin your attack and it reads:

Of all the places I laid down my head
I think of two I regret
Love isn’t easy my baby you’re sayin' today, whoa

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I’ll be away
On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay
On a continental steamship sailin' away
On a one way ticket on a first class airplane
I wanna know what you’re thinkin' about
Don’t just let me go, whoa oh

Four hundred days have passed since I’ve heard from you last
I’m getting worried, I admit
Maybe it’s nothing much
There’s nicer shores in sight
Oh I just don’t know

Of all the places I laid down my head
I think of two I regret
Love isn’t easy my baby would tell you today, whoa
But tell Mr. Shoemaker I’ll be away
On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay
On a continental steamship sailin' away
On a one way ticket on a first class airplane
I wanna know what you’re thinkin' about
Don’t just let me go, whoa oh

I’m sayin' so long
I want my baby back
I know it’s hard to see
Why she’s in love with me
I’m sayin' so long
I want my baby back
I know it’s hard to see
Why she’s in love with me
So long to the headstrong
I wasn’t qualified to lead that city life
That’s all I have to say
