Stone Gossard - Bayleaf lyrics

Once this man I knew had a lovely song to sing to me All in three: one-two-wee was the way he sang With a southern twang, he?? A gentle man, we'd owe him From his dusty days though, he'd been split four ways Cut to the bone, left alone too many It only takes these memories to make me want...sigh... Ahh... You wanted to survive, had a notion to explain our way Pending grey and coldness Tried to woo him to me but the spell I cast was far too weak To break him free, who woe him He had a different dance, he had a different song He had a different sound to follow home But he didn't believe it He did not, bay leaf He didn't believe it He did not, bay leaf He didn't believe it at all He did not, bay leaf He didn't believe it He did not, bay leaf La la la la la... Well he didn't believe it He didn't believe it at all He did not, bay leaf He didn't believe it at all He did not, bay leaf He didn't believe it He did not, bay leaf Made his midnight stand with a pale fist He took a swing, sight unseen, he suffered Pulled his lover to him Made his will about the hands of fate A bit too late, to save him When he went back home and his mom would drown and mold He had a different mood, he had a different style He opened up his love so wide
