Joe Henry - Parker's Mood lyrics

Where's my sock? Where's my other shoe? I didn't know what time it was When I came o. The only light in here Is fmy flickering TV Watching back at me.. Oh, my love is here to stay Saints alive And all the saints be praised, I see them all around me now They've been called and raised; Their jaws gone slack. Their yellow nails long and curling back To scratch the phantom of ache Of our lost days... Oh, my love is here to stay I came home this morning I was dead on my feet, drunk on the victory Of my own defeat. Now, I'm reeling on the ceiling But what yard-bird law is this, When a heart in chains is what remains The prelude to a kiss? God is in the details Of the smoke in the air, The devil, he's a pauper prince Nesting in your hair. The things we put together The world will ear a part, But I've beat them to the start Alone the way.. Oh, my love is here to stay.
