Heart Like a Levee

Oh, sweet May morning
Yeah, lying in bed with nothing to say
We'll pretend all we wanna
Yeah, tomorrow I'll be on my way

Sing me a river (sing me a river)
Oh, go easy on me, I'm not doing too well
Do you hate me, honey (hate me, honey)
As much as I hate myself?

Heart like a levee (heart like a levee)
I swing for the mountains in double-time
Is it too heavy, honey? (Is it too heavy, honey?)
Did I carry my piece of the fire?

Standing in the wake with the sky still changing
What's it going to take
Oh, to keep you missing this rambling rake with a heart of obsidian?
Standing in the wake with the sky still changing

Oh, sing me a river (sing me a river)
I'm a peach tree jumper with rain in my shoes
If you let me, honey (let me, honey)
I'll set the world on fire for you

Oh, sing me a summer (sing me a summer)
Oh, that Cincinnati moon like a wheel in the sky
Shows two roads, honey (two roads, honey)
Tell me which one leads to mine?

Yeah, sing, little sister (sing, little sister)
Be patient with me when I don't have a rhyme
Will you grieve me, honey?
Did I give you a reason to try?

Standing in the wake with the sky still changing
What's it going to take, oh, to keep you from taking this so serious?
I know the dead are raging
Standing in the wake, yes I've seen the changes

Yeah, heart like a levee (heart like a levee)
I swing for the mountains in double-time
Do you hear me running?
Did I carry my piece of the fire?
