"Brazen Head" lyrics

"Brazen Head"

"Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women"

Only passing thoughts of times long gone tonight
9,000 miles away I hear your songs, but I
I seek the comfort of the bottle
And then I let my mind to wander
To the faces that I knew
And to the places that I went with you

You told me all your stories through the trebled din
But I haven't finished drinking so please tell them again

The brazen head, you overwhelm me with the powers of an ancient spell
Old and the new, they come around to spend their time with you
Ten years I dreamed about you
Now I haven't had a drink without you
A toast for those who've passed
And to the rest let's finish off the glass

You told me all your stories through the trebled din
But I haven't finished drinking so please tell them again

Well, let me tell you about how I've sinned
And all the places that I've been
All the battles that I've lost
And all scars that I've caused
'Cause if there's one thing that I know
It's that all these people they come and go
So that is all and that was then
But I'll come back and do it again

Only passing thoughts of times long gone tonight
9,000 miles away I hear your songs, but I
I seek the comfort of the bottle
And then I let my mind to wander
To the faces that I knew
And to the places that I went with you

You told me all your stories through the trebled din
But I haven't finished drinking so please tell them again
You told me all your stories through the trebled din
But I haven't finished drinking so please tell them again
