"I Can't Change My Name" lyrics

It wasn't a milestone for you, baby
It wasn't a millstone round your neck
It wasn't a look across a crowded room
It wasn't a handshake or a kiss
It's just this
Gentle gentle wind had changed

I can't change my name
I've been out - I've been out in the desert too long
And the coat I'm wearing has become part of me
I can't change my name
I've been out - I've been out in the long grass and the wind
And I'm kinda getting used to the wilderness
I can't change it

Change the locks on the doors
While you're at it, go
Go out, get your fortune told again
Change the locks on the doors
While you're at it, go
Go out, change your circle of friends

I can't change my name
I can't change it

It wasn't like we've been shot at, baby
It wasn't an earthquake or a death
It wasn't a flood that ruined everything
It wasn't the reaper with the wrong address
Just a snake's hiss
Gentle gentle wind had changed

I can't change my name
I've been out - I've been out in the desert too long
And the coat I'm wearing has become part of me
I can't change my name
I've been out in the long grass and the wind
And I'm trying to get used to the wilderness
I can't change it

Change the locks on the doors
While you're at it, go
Go out, change your circle of friends
Change the locks on the doors
While you're at it, go
Maybe change your diet of drugs

I can't change my name
I can't change my name...
I can't change my name, no no
I can't change my name, no no

I can't change my name
I can't change it
