Kevin Morby - Five Easy Pieces Revisited

Oh Rayette darling, forgive me
All my life I have been dizzy
Dizzy in sound, searching for silence
Childhood doesn't live behind but inside us

And take me back to when I could
Play five easy pieces, beneath a Jesus
And the family tree, was branching out towards me
And mama was still alive
And papa wasn't about to die
So what
Oh ray ray keep your mouth shut

And oh Rayette I'd watch ya float
Across the silver diner
As your long thin legs
Would carry scrambled eggs
Mopping up vomit, singing sonnets for a kid who got sick
And oh Rayette you had dreams to sing at the grand ole Opry
And nobody can stop me, from stopping you for no good reason at all

And if deaths coming for us all
Then let death come before our fall

And I'm gone like a song on a train
I go from station to station until I pull into your brain
You spun the dial a while baby
Til you could hear me and the band playing
Oh, I'm here, but I'm not staying

I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
