Heart Like a Levee - Hiss Golden Messenger

Sweet May morning

Lying in bed with nothing to say

We’ll pretend all we wanna

Yeah, tomorrow I’ll be on my way

Sing me a river

Go easy on me, I’m not doing too well

Do you hate me, honey

As much as I hate myself?

Heart like a levee

I swing for the mountains in double-time

Is it too heavy, honey?

Did I carry my piece of the fire?

Standing in the wake with the sky still changing

What’s it going to take to keep you missing the rambling rake with a heart of

obsidian?

Standing in the wake with the sky still changing

Sing me a river

I’m a peach tree jumper with rain in my shoes

If you let me, honey

I’ll set the world on fire for you

Sing me a summer

Oh, that Cincinnati moon — like a wheel in the sky — shows two roads, honey

Tell me which one leads to mine?

Sing, little sister

Be patient with me when I don’t have a rhyme

Will you grieve me, honey?

Did I give you a reason to try?

Standing in the wake with the sky still changing

What’s it going to take to keep you from taking this so serious?

I know the dead are raging

Standing in the wake — yes I’ve seen the changes

Heart like a levee

I swing for the mountains in double-time

Do you hear me running?

Did I carry my piece of the fire?
