lyrics

I bought you a scarf
from Paris, France
and I'd cut off my hands
if they'd send me home.

is the baby moving?
I bet he has a heart by now.
if you could send some word somehow
tell him I'm patching a hole in the world.

the only thing to do at night is just
I just breathe in slow
and think of best friends, and dead men
of course my girl back home

and by now I'm a tired man
who just wants to grow old
with some porch nights
and calm wife
and tell the world to leave me alone.

I bunk with a lad
with a brand new bride
you'd never know he aches inside
until you hear him, late at night.

I wrote out my love
on the side of a bridge
with a wooden stick
just to make sure that it lives

so if I'm missed
touch your letters to edge of your wrist
and give all your friends the gist
so then I'm not stranger when I greet them.

and if I were a carpenter
and you were a lady
would you've married me anyway?
would you've had my baby?
