Indigo Girls - Something Real Lyrics
words and music by emily saliersI've seen the sun on a funeral, the full moon in a midday skyTactician politician hold his head and wonder whyI'm always struck that much harder by the power of suggestionBy now I know the answer's always in the questionNow that we're done with that why don't you warm the carAll of the fields are filled with fresh boys playing footballMore than the weather chills, the bands practicing their drillsI've got to get back to something real with youI had to call your parents to get your number againI was either gonna be the prodigal or the banished friendWe were standing against an outside wall, I was afraid of what you'd sayIt took me ten years to call you back but here we are todayNow that we're done with that why don't you warm the carAll of the fields are filled with fresh boys playing footballMore than the weather chills, the bands practicing their drillsI've got to get back to something real with youSo life has brought you this: two marriages and three kidsAnd me life as slick as ice that finally hit the skidsYou're as sweet as you ever wereA slight sickness of regret washes over meAnd in the end that's all I getNow that we're done with that why don't you warm the carAll of the fields are filled with fresh boys playing footballMore than the weather chills, the bands practicing their drillsI've got to get back to something realI've got to get back to something realI've got to get back to something real with you
