Iron & Wine - Baby Centre Stage Lyrics
Mama called you baby center stageShe could really run her mouthBaton Rouge called you petit angeAnd Birmingham could run you outDoesn’t anybody see how scared you are?There was a time I was running you downBut the world kept spinning roundDoesn’t anybody see how scared you are?There was a time when you were running to me,But the lightning spared the tall treeWhen your moon lights up the riversideMaking mud and bad bloodYou can call me anytimeFor all it’s worth, Louisiana’s still not enoughIn your restless days,I got lost, I got savedIn your restless nightsI swam blind,Somehow falling into the lightDoesn’t anybody see how scared you are?There was a time I was running you downBut the world kept spinning roundDoesn’t anybody see how scared you are?There was a time you were running to meBut the hurricane had mercyIn your restless daysAll that wind, all those wavesIn your restless nightsWe closed our eyes,Killed each other and came to lifeIn your restless daysI made my bed, I dug my graveIn your restless nightsWe both swam blind,Somehow falling into the light
