Lyrics
Milkweed
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Always coming back
(Coming back for something, back for something)
Always coming back
(Coming back for something, back for something)
Always coming back with the butterflies
Breakfast on the table
Backseat full of baby shoes
A pile of jumper cables
Always coming back
(Coming back for something, back for something)
Rain falls all around the world
The summer leaves afraid of changing
(Coming back for something, back for something)
There's something carved in our hearts for good
Something always fading
(Coming back for something, back for something)
God of the dollar's a God of fear
The guns on the TV really get you
Kiss me again in a streetlight coming
On
The l train rattles back and forth
A body takes a beating
Milkweeds for the butterflies
Promises are for keeping
Always coming back (always coming back)
Always coming back (always coming back)
Always coming back
