[Verse 1]
The water tower rises above
On a summer evening we sat all night
Between the paths in the plantations
[Verse 2]
And what is delicious? Cut mango
With cold beer and wading noise
Be there when the farmers get up
[Chorus]
You might think I would’ve been happy
You might think I wasn’t bad
The wishes of the heart
As a confessor to a priest
I saved for Suzanne Vega
And she spoke back
If you want I’m still here
Light years away from you
I’ll get back to you in a moment
If you want I’m still here
Light years away from you
I’ll be right back
[Verse 3]
Thеre in the pasture in thе tall grass
The sun kisses without touching
The birds have seen everything
[Verse 4]
Hand on knee while driving
The sweetness of a hot days sweat
A cigarette like a stem
[Chorus]
You might think I would’ve been happy
You might think I wasn’t bad
The wishes of the heart
As a confessor to a priest
I saved for Tracy Chapman
And she spoke back
If you want I’m still here
Light years away from you
I’ll get back to you in a moment
If you want I’m still here
Light years away from you
I’ll be right back
