Mikey Wax - Birmingham lyrics

I didn't have a plan I was running from all I can Hoping to safely land in the keys somewhere With my feet in the sand But I finally made a stand When I broke down in Birmingham You kindly gave your hand And I held on tight as if you were my prayer You said "Stay with me I will help you to breath" I said "I'm not who you think I am But I'll gladly be your man In Birmingham" You took me into your past With letters and photographs You told me your father left When you were only ten and that he never came back And I saw you wave your hand As I was leaving from Birmingham You said that if I can I should come back soon I should remember that You can stay with me I will help you to breath But I said "I'm not who you think I am But I'll gladly be your man In Birmingham" And we stood face to face Outside in the pouring rain You said "don't forget my name When you find your way" "Cause you can stay with me I will help you to breath" But I said "I'm not who you think I am But I'll gladly be your man In Birmingham"
