"Goldfish" lyrics
"Goldfish"
I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell'em all I love'em
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
And I'm gonna catch me some quiet today
I went by the circus but the doors were all closed
And the kids were all screaming wanna see the big show
And the clown he'd grown tired and his clothes were worm thin
He said I don't care if I ever see this big top again
He says I don't mind if I never see the big top again
I went by the church and I saw the white veil
And I remember the letter that you sent in the mail
And I wish you the best with your new fancy life
With your shiny black car and rich man by your side
With your shiny black car and rich man by your side
I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell'em all I love'em
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I packed all my things, and it didn't take long
I remember what you looked like when you were young
And I wanted to see you, but I knew it was wrong
So I stayed up all night drinking and singing another song [?]
So I stayed up all night drinking and singing your songs [?]
I'm leaving this morning
I'll call when I can
I'm going fishing on the Rio Grand
Tell'em all I love'em
I don't care what they say
Cause I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
I'm gonna catch me a goldfish today
Yeah, I'm gonna catch me some quiet today

Iron & Wine - "Belated Promise Ring" Sunday morning, my Rebekah's sleeping in with me again
There's a kid outside the church kickin' a can
When the cedar branches twist she turns her collar to the wind
The weather can close the world...
Matthew And The Atlas - "I Followed Fires" Give me to the road
Upon the heart
That I had sold
Warm my heavy hands
My heavy hands
For you to hold
There's a devil at your door
And he grows, he grows
So I been told he had a heart of gold
And it...
State Radio - "Indian Moon" On this earth not alone we stand
Outstretched arm and upturned hand
Never knowing when the shakes steady
And 'till now we have seldom seen
And I will go if you go with me
Understand I will wait...
Gregory Alan Isakov - "3 A.M." Well its 3 AM again, like it always seems to be
Drivin' northbound, drivin' homeward, drivin' wind is drivin' me
And it just seems so funny that I always end up here,
Walkin outside in the storm...
Brandi Carlile - "Heart's Content" Maybe you thought
I hung the moon
Maybe you thought
We were johnny and june
Maybe we thought
It was just us two
Maybe we spoke too soon
We never lie
And we don't tell tales
We bite our tongues...
