Goose Eggs Lyrics - Divers - Joanna Newsom

If I had the space of half a day 

I'm ashamed of half the things I say 

I'm ashamed to have turned out this way 

Well I desire to make amends 

But it don't make no difference now 

And no one's listening anyhow 

And lists of sins and a solemn vow 

Can't make you any friends 

There's an old trick played when the light and the wine 

Conspire to make me think I'm fine 

I'm not but I have got half a mind 

To maybe get there yet 

When the sky goes pink in Paris, France 

Do you think of the girl who used to dance 

When you'd frame her moving within your hands 

Saying this I won't forget 

What happened to the man you were 

When you loved somebody before her 

Did you die or does that man endure 

Somewhere far away? 

Our lives come easy and our lives come hard 

And we carry them like a pack of cards 

Some we don't use but we don't discard 

And we keep for a rainy day
