Lyrics Lisa Loeb – For The Birch
Text:
They bought it for the birch
Then the birch was gone
She planted daffodils
Life goes on
When the winter came
She started over
Seasons change
Looking at her picture
I can almost hear her saying
She’d say, «Kick off your Mary Janes and
Your coat and gloves and hang your hat
It doesn’t matter where
Come sit beside me, and
We can talk about it.»
Wish that I could go back there
Ooh ooh when I lose my way, I lose my light
Ooh ooh what would she say to me tonight?
Some days are out of focus
Sometimes you can’t explain
There’s a bigger picture
Outside the frame
When you’re too stuck in it
You can’t see beyond it
Take a slow minute
Remember life goes on
Kick off your Mary Janes
Your coat and gloves and hang your hat
It doesn’t matter where
Come sit beside me
Wish that I could go back there
Ooh ooh I lose my way, I lose my light
Ooh ooh what would she say to me tonight?
Ooh ooh I lost my way, I’ve lost my light
Ooh ooh what would she say to me?
Ooh ooh I lost my way, I’ve lost my light
Ooh ooh what would she say to me?
Kick off your Mary Janes
Your coat and gloves and hang your hat
It doesn’t matter where
