Don't Leave Me Hanging

from A Forest Of Arms by Great Lake Swimmers

lyrics

You had different hair when I saw you last
You flew away, flew when you could have fought
But you did fight, you went so many rounds
Delivered one shot at a time

Don’t leave me hanging, don’t leave me hanging
Drowning in shallow water
Don’t leave me hanging, don’t leave me hanging
To start it all over again

The forest you planted, the sparks where they landed
It’s winter now, it’s cold so finish soon
Your wings drying out, saying when hell freezes over
They’ll straighten out, just wait it out

Even Sundays, swimming, where the current is slow
Through your mouth, and the way you pronounce
The murmurs, the babbling, the wayward characters
One brush stroke at a time

Don’t leave me hanging, don’t leave me hanging
Drowning in shallow water
Don’t leave me hanging, don’t leave me hanging
To start it all over again

To start it all over again
Start it all over again
