Halfway to Richmond Songtext

von Iron & Wine

I'll make supper for myself.
I'll watch the clock on the shelf.
I'll clean this broken house
You denied.
Is your time much better spent
By giving such a small percent
To every pleasant dream that I've tried?
What's this ugly thing I see?
When was this cold and uncomely
Animosity begotten?
F*%@ing with the lights left on
'Til every ounce of strength was gone.
Is there something you've forgotten?
When a new sun warms the bedroom wall
I'll be halfway to Richmond.
I'm the fool just to care at all.
You're the free vagabond.
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...)
London bridges fallin' down
And Simon says to turn around.
These games ain't too fun when you're old.
Where'd you go, and why'd you leave?
I'll close my eyes and count to three
And hurry up and wait by the phone,
But when a new sun warms the bedroom walls
I'll be halfway to Richmond.
I'm the fool just to care at all.
You're the free vagabond.
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...)
