Adonijah Lyrics by Adrianne Lenker

2012

[Verse 1]
Spin me around again
Spin me around so I don't know where I am
I'll keep my eyes closed tight
I'll keep them shut so I can't see where you hide
[Chorus A]
You let the years go by
You let the years go by
Adonijah where
Do you hide?
[Verse 2]
Your father was an ocean man
Born for the sea and was buried in the land
Your mother was a stormy woman
Tied to the air like the cold to the north wind blowing
[Chorus A]
You let the years go by
You let the years go by
Adonijah where
Do you hide?
[Verse 3]
Leaves begin to fall
Autumn came too soon
You started to remember all those cold Octobers years ago when you were mine
Under the blue light
[Chorus B]
Your heart was less heavy and you head home
Head spinning like wide circles and you wept alone
Now those years are gone an' you have nothing anymore
Adonijah where
Do you hide?
[Verse 4]
Adonijah, where you going and why so far, and why so fast?
You know it's gonna come a-begging if you try to push it back
'Cause everybody needs a home, and you ain't got one, and you're on your own
Don't lie to me honey, I see right through you
[Chorus B]
Your heart was less heavy and you head home
Head spinning like wide circles and you weren't alone
Now those years are gone and you weren't running anymore
Adonijah where
Do you hide?
[Bridge]
It's on the tip of your tongue you know, you want me
It's on the tip of your tongue you know, you want me
So don't lie to me, honey, I see right through you
Don't lie to me, honey, I see right through you
Don't lie to me, honey
Don't lie to me honey, I see right through you
[Outro]
Adonijah
Come home
Come home
Don't lie to me honey, come home
Come home
