A Song For You Lyrics by James Yorkston, Nina Persson, The Second Hand Orchestra

2023

Oh, my land is like a wild goose
The wanders all around and everywhere
Trembles and it shakes till every tree's loose
It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails
So take me down to your dance floor
And I won't mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there
Jesus built a ship to sing a song to
It sails the rivers and it sails the tide
Some of my friends don't know who they belong to
Some can't get a single thing to work inside
So take me down to your dance floor
And I won't mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we will still be there
I loved you every day but now I'm leaving
And I can see the sorrow in your eyes
I hope you know a lot more than you're believing
Just so the sun don't hurt you when you try
Oh, take me down to your dance floor
And I won't mind the people when they stare
Paint a different color on your front door
And tomorrow we may still be there
