Lyrics Mason Jennings – Ballad Of Paul And Sheila
Text:
October morning, little plane on the forest floor
Up on the tv between a rerun and another war
Here in a hotel, trying to make some sense of this
Two thousand miles from my family in minneapolis
Hey senator, i wanna say
All the things you fought for did not die here today
Hey senator, i’m gonna do
All the things i can to live my life more like you lived
A story of a love undivided for thirty-nine years
Strong when it counted through the hard times and the fears
Together forever, that was always what it was about
No hesitation, there was never any doubt
Hey hey sheila, i want to say
All the things you fought for did not die here today
Hey hey sheila, i’m gonna do
All the things i can to live my life more like you
Hey senator, i wanna say
All the things you fought for did not die here today
Hey hey sheila, i’m gonna do
All the things i can to live my life more like you
All the things you fought for did not die here today
Hey senator, i’m gonna do
All the things i can to live my life more like you lived
A story of a love undivided for thirty-nine years
Strong when it counted through the hard times and the fears
Together forever, that was always what it was about
No hesitation, there was never any doubt
Hey hey sheila, i want to say
All the things you fought for did not die here today
Hey hey sheila, i’m gonna do
All the things i can to live my life more like you
Hey senator, i wanna say
All the things you fought for did not die here today
Hey hey sheila, i’m gonna do
All the things i can to live my life more like you
