Aimee Mann - 4th of July текст песни

Todays the fourth of july

Another june has gone by

And when they light up our town I just think

What a waste of gunpowder and sky

Im certain that I am alone

In harbouring thoughts of our home

Its one of my faults that I cant quell my past

I ought to have gotten it gone

Oh, baby, I wonder -

If when you are older -

Someday-

Youll wake up

And say, my god, I should have told her -

What would it take?

But now here I am and the worlds gotten colder

And shes got the river down which I sold her.

So thats todays memory lane

With all the pathos and pain

Another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless

And theyre always the same

A verse, then a verse, and refrain

Oh, baby, I wonder -

If when you are older -

Someday-

Youll wake up

And say, my god, I should have told her -

What would it take?

But now here I am and the worlds gotten colder

And shes got the river down which I sold her.
