Eric Anderson - Black Lamb lyrics

[Verse 1] If this age is going to change me then let it change me by degree If I become something disgusting I'll just retrace my steps and leave But what a cowardly thing: to know the notes but not sing [Chorus] So let the tall gra** creep up into my wheel-wells And let the grey paint-speckled husk betray the way I lived while I was being born in travel. Every breath was summer air Not a black lamb reading Vanity Fair [Verse 2] And when you look into the mirror and see a shivering actress And you half forget the difference between the blond girl and the black dress Well don't dwell too much on that. You know the steps so just dance [Chorus] And let the tall gra** creep up into my wheel-wells And let the grey paint-speckled husk betray the way I lived while I was being born in travel. Every breath was summer air Not a black lamb reading Vanity Fair Not the town drunk screaming that my shot wasn't fair Not a dry eye blinking and trying hard not to stare Not a black lamb reading Vanity Fair
