Cordova Lyrics - All That We Let In - Indigo Girls

words and music by amy ray 

The volunteers come for your prayers 

and some souvenirs, 

With ivory skin and boycott lessons 

Year after year. 

Well I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk, 

Oh Cordova. 

Where I cried and I cried, 

I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have, 

The things that I didn't have.

Now you come to me 

With revolution's infidelity, 

With blacklisted friends and tupperware kin, 

And your big history. 

Well I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk, 

Oh Cordova. 

Where I cried and I cried, 

I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have, 

The things that I didn't have. 

I memorize the lullabies 

of dwindling lives. 

The lay of the land, the touch of each hand 

We lose by and by.

I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk, 

Oh Cordova. 

Where I cried and I cried, 

I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have, 

The things that I didn't have.
