Park Bench Lyrics by Palmyra

Shenandoah

2022

[Verse 1]
Flip a coin with your strange hands
Not quite woman not quite man
It might land somewhere in the middle
Or somewhere out of reach
And if I ever learn my name
I'll carve it in a park bench
And I'll stare
Till the letters don't look like anything
I'll stare

[Chorus 1]
Just like you stare
With judgment and uncertainty
Oh, this park bench is a sacred place
Though it's far from Eden's garden
It protects me from intrusive thoughts
And eyes made prone to wander
And if you evеr find me here
You bеst leave me to my thinking
Or I'll be going, going, going, going, gone
I'll be traveling on
I'll be traveling on

[Verse 2]
Cast a spell with crooked teeth
Not quite dull and not quite sweet
It might look something like a photo
Out of frame and out of focus
And if I ever learn my name
I'll carve it in a dogwood
And I'll cry
With a weight that shoulders broad as mine
Could never bear

[Chorus 2]
How much you carry
So much you carry
Lord, this dogwood is a sacred tree
Though it's far from Satan's garden
It holds me like my mother
And it smells just like my father
And if you ever find me here
Well, you best leave me to my thinking
Or I'll be going, going, going, going, gone
I'll be traveling on
