Dawes - So Well Lyrics
I am an old old sailorWith a future much shorter than his pastI live alone, I do not wanderA world that just slips further from my graspAnd from my home I watch the peopleStruggle through the burden of each dayThat’s where Marie sweet and gentleSmiles to me when she passes on her wayAnd she does it so wellShe pulls me out of times cruel spellFor long enough to finally tellThat nothing is wrongI am a boy, I am a childWith those simple dreams still burning in my heartI’ve known Marie for a whileShe shows me where all my beginnings areAnd once a week she takes me dancingShe shows me friends and places I never knewAnd it always ends watching her leavingWith a man she knows don’t understand what loneliness will make you doAnd she does it so wellShe shows me where my dreams dwellShe shows me how to find myselfAnd that nothing is wrongI am a lonely singerWith a song for every feeling I cannot nameAnd I find Marie in every measureAnd somehow the clearer it becomes the longer she’s awayAnd she does it so wellI was still falling in love when she said farewellFor long enough to finally tellThat nothing is wrong...that nothing is wrong
