Justin Vernon - Jefferson St. lyrics

[Verse:] The lights turn down on Jefferson Street Cop car sits in the middle Something terrifies me The world ain't so simple, you see The riddles are the same But the answers change And I saw [?] [Chorus:] Why does it cut me down to size? Why do the leaves inside me die? We'll learn to wait It's Christmas time now anyway [Verse:] The ocean rolls around my skies And I am walking inside You are the blue water inside my eyes [Chorus:] Why does it cut me down to size? Why do the leaves inside me die? We'll learn to wait It's Christmas time now anyway Na na na… [Verse:] Thanksgiving time, words ain't enough Summertime, a kiss I am a lonely boy with my cover soaked with rain Rain … [Why are you crying?] [Why aren't you flying?] The lights turn down on Jefferson Street
