Blade Away Lyrics by The Other Favorites

Unamericana

2021

[Verse 1]
She carved a pear with a knife
She didn't point the blade away
I didn't wanna patronize
She cut herself anyway
She sang "Amazing Grace"
She didn't know all the words
She said, "I hope you never die
So I don't have to learn that verse"
Ever the diplomat
I said, "Let's hope it doesn't come to that, now"
[Chorus]
Temporary as the night
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
I can't count on much aright
Can I count, count on you?
[Verse 2]
She put the news on TV
But she turned the volume down
She said, "I think I ought to see
But I can't stand the sound"
Almost an afterthought
I just held her as we watched
[Chorus]
Temporary as the night
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
I can't count on much aright
Can I count, count on you?
Temporary as the night
And leaving like a slow kettle whine, I knew
I can't count on much aright
Can I count, count on you?
