lyrics

Where are you little boy from New Orleans?
"I've got sunflowers leaning in both my eyes,
And I don't break apart no more
Think I'll sleep a little while
In these June blue skies"

There's something inside me I'll never find
Pollen is a universe and the monarch butterflies
I was born on a Wednesday, in the shadow of a train
Think I'll sleep a little while
In these June blue skies

Scattered all across the shores and sand, you know
Every second is an hour, or a sunset, or a seven
And the breath of days is breathing all my lifeblood away
All lost songs go to heaven

Where are you little boy from New Orleans?
"I'm not sure, but it's getting better
Watching ships turn blue and disappear
And someday I will too, like an old love letter"

Scattered all across the shores and sand, you know
Every second is an hour, or a sunset, or a seven
And the breath of days is breathing all my lifeblood away
All lost songs go to heaven

I saw it in a dream
Felt it in my heart
Just so I knew you were real
Touched your skin
In the supermarket line
It was more than a dream
With your dreadlocked curls
And your crooked smile
Rock & Roll hands
Folksinger feet
You got the loose change blues
Like a shepherd to the lost
With your train yard howl
You took care of us then
Angel of midnight prayers
I awoke and just wept
All lost songs go to heaven
