"Murder In The City" lyrics
Swept Away Original Broadway Cast, The Avett Brothers, Stark Sands & Adrian Blake Enscoe Lyrics
"Murder In The City"
(from "Swept Away" soundtrack)
If I get murdered in the city
Don't go revengin' in my name
One person dead from such is plenty
No need to go get locked away
When I leave your arms
The things that I think of
No need to get over-alarmed
I'm comin' home
I wonder which brother is better
Which one our parents love the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble
They seem to let the other go
A tear fell from my father's eyes
I wondered what my dad would say
He said:
"I love you and I'm proud of you both in so many different ways."
If I get murdered in the city
Go read the letter in my desk
Don't bother with all my belongings
But pay attention to the list
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Make sure my sister knows I loved her
Make sure my mother knows the same
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Always remember there was nothing worth sharing
Like the love that let us share our name
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh...
Oh...

Sawyer Hill - "Need Me Now" You said you'd be there till the end
Now you're trying to forget
Promises you never kept

The ones I waited on
This is just for me

Old Sea Brigade - "According To Planned" It's a split decision
And no one is in the right mind
We had good intentions
But they cried and ran inside
Think we nailed the landing
But no one's here to show
So I'll tell them we're still...
