Brownie Hawkeye (w/Leslie Feist & Amy Millan) Lyrics

You took your Brownie Hawkeye
And pointed it up at the sky
You just let the shutter flyAll of your friends still wonder why
You were never good with a goodbye
You just turned your back and let it slideI try to remember the words I once heard
You spoke them with courageYou'll never deserve all of
That they let you carry
Few were the first, for sure
You were the first to be marriedStars went wheeling across the sky
Silhouetted the tops of the bending pines
Summer was high, we were storming insideThe morning glories bloomed by moonlight
You get that picture in your mind
'Cause of all the smoke in our eyesI took a piss on the wall, out back of a mall
You drank the last of the sherry
Green grass stains on your bare feet
On the dash of your mother's ChevyI guess it is hard to quit
Which you won't admit to beginningWe went from shoulder to shoulder
We'll never grow up, we just got olderI chewed a hole right through my heart

From the very start
Anticipating the myth of you
