Northern Lad (Live) [Sound Advice Amphitheatre, 04/09/03]

[Verse 1]

Had a northern lad, well, not exactly had

He moved like the sunset - God, who painted that?

First he loved my accent, how his knees could bend

I thought we'd be okay, me and my molasses

[Pre-Chorus]

But I feel something is wrong

But I feel this cake just isn't done

Don't say that you don't

[Chorus]

And if you could see me now

Said, if you could see me now

Girls, you've got to know when it's time to turn the page

When you're only wet because of the rain

Because of

'Cause of the rain, 'cause of

[Verse 2]

You don't show much these days, it gets so fucking cold

I loved his secret places, but I can't go anymore

"You change like sugarcane," says my northern lad

I guess you go too far when pianos try to be guitars

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel the West in you

But I feel it falling apart too

Don't say that you don't

[Chorus]

And if you could see me now

Said, if you could see me now

Girls, you've got to know when it's time to turn the page

When you're only wet because of the rain

And if you could see me now

Said, if you could see me now

Girls, you've got to know when it's time to turn the page

When you're only wet because of the rain

When you're only wet because of the rain

Because of the

'Cause of the rain, 'cause of

'Cause of the rain, 'cause of the rain
