The Gourds - Promenade lyrics

Gourds Noble Creatures Promenade Baby I remember the way you held my hand I tried my best to tell you, but you wouldn’t understand Now I think about you always and to myself I say yer name The way we were when forever was just another day I traded yer sweetness for my loneliness Yer confidence for my own regrets Yer simple grace for this disarray That’s my stock and trade while you promenade Sometime I’m singing to the ceiling Sometimes I’m talking to the walls Sometimes I forget this feeling Ever mattered at all But in the evening when the sun’s down There’s sadness on its way Like a ghost that knows my address And where I lay Somehow my losing just comes natural like a southern democrat Nostalgia haunts my memory and stands in my path You promenade to the city, you promenade to the shore The gentlemen say that you are pretty and promenade round the floor Now I think about you always and to myself I say yer name The way we were when forever was just another day
