Heart Like a Levee

Oh, sweet May morning

Yeah, 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 (sing me a river)

Oh, go easy on me, I'm not doing too well

Do you hate me, honey (hate me, honey)

As much as I hate myself?

Heart like a levee (heart like a levee)

I swing for the mountains in double-time

Is it too heavy, honey? (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

Oh, to keep you missing this rambling rake with a heart of obsidian?

Standing in the wake with the sky still changing

Oh, sing me a river (sing me a river)

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

If you let me, honey (let me, honey)

I'll set the world on fire for you

Oh, sing me a summer (sing me a summer)

Oh, that Cincinnati moon like a wheel in the sky

Shows two roads, honey (two roads, honey)

Tell me which one leads to mine?

Yeah, sing, little sister (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, oh, to keep you from taking this so serious?

I know the dead are raging

Standing in the wake, yes I've seen the changes

Yeah, heart like a levee (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?
