Heart Like a Levee - Hiss Golden Messenger

Heart Like a Levee Lyrics

Sweet May morning
Lying in bed with nothing to say
We'll pretend all we wanna
Yeah, tomorrow I'll be on my waySing 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 youSing 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?
