Jeff Tweedy – Orphan lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mom, she died like a desert in bloom
Now I feel for her like a missing tooth
She rests between what is far and near
Where I can't see her
[Verse 2]
Now he's gone, my dad's gone too
I watched until he was an empty room
He rests between how it is and how it seems
Where I can't see him
[Chorus]
I am an orphan
Bring them back to me
I will forgive them
Let them love me again
[Verse 3]
I'm lonely like I've never known
We went as far as love can go
They rest between the edges of my dreams
Where I don't need them
[Bridge]
Listen
I hear them
[Chorus]
I am an orphan
Bring them back to me
I will forgive them
Let them love me again
Mom, she died like a desert in bloom
Now I feel for her like a missing tooth
She rests between what is far and near
Where I can't see her
[Verse 2]
Now he's gone, my dad's gone too
I watched until he was an empty room
He rests between how it is and how it seems
Where I can't see him
[Chorus]
I am an orphan
Bring them back to me
I will forgive them
Let them love me again
[Verse 3]
I'm lonely like I've never known
We went as far as love can go
They rest between the edges of my dreams
Where I don't need them
[Bridge]
Listen
I hear them
[Chorus]
I am an orphan
Bring them back to me
I will forgive them
Let them love me again
