Lyrics Henry Jamison – Real Peach
Text:
Well nighttime passes
But the dark remains
And I was feelin’ like a little child
But I am loathe to place blame
Who will go here unnamed
She was looking in me for a lion
When she found it so tame.
On that erstwhile May morning
I took the six downtown to Spring
And I was writing something elegiac
That I never learned to sing
But I think it was this song
Just four years premature
And I remember crossing out the line
-«All is fair in love and war»
Well if all is fair in love and war
Then I don’t know what we are fighting for
Cuz my baby she’s a real peach
Even when the night come crashin’ down
Real peach
And the nighttime rolls away, alright
And we’re comin’ back to the demon-killing work of love
(My god)
Well nighttime passes
And the dark retreats
I hand it over to my upper angel
Who visits me in sleep
We’re in the field beyond the right and wrong
And the fallacy of form
I just say -«All is fair in love and war»
Well if all is fair in love and war
Then I don’t know what we are fighting for
So if we don’t care
To fight no more
Let’s go upstairs and let’s shut the door
Cuz my baby she’s a real peach
Even when the night come crashing down
Real peach
And the nighttime rolls away, alright
Cuz my baby she’s a real peach
Even when the night come crashing down
Real peach
And the nighttime rolls away, alright
And we’re comin’ back to the demon killing work of love
(My god)
