lyrics

Singing Nettles

Intro

Verse one
It ain’t the first time that I felt this way
Won’t be the last before we go
Now I would never forget that look on your face
So much disappointment mixed with so much love

Chorus
Don’t be afraid that the sun won’t shine
I have kept it close with a ball of twine
But then again I have always been
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie

Verse Two
Now I remember when you were young
Do you remember where we would go
Down that lane all covered with shade
Stinging nettles laughing through the pain

Chorus
Don’t be afraid that the sun won’t shine
I have kept it close with a ball of twine
But then again I have always been
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie

Verse Three
I know you remember every word I didn’t keep
But still you’re able not to hold them against me
I guess I’m just hoping’ that somehow you know
That I meant every single promise I ever broke
Solo over verse changes
Verse Three
Now that you’re gone why don’t you be free
So that you know it was worth leaving me
If you keep coming back it will never heal
It will be just like it was before but with different bandages

Chorus
Don’t be afraid that the sun won’t shine
I have kept you close with a ball of twine
But then again I have always been
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie
Too busy catching rays to ever learn how to tie
