Lyrics Joanna Newsom

Joanna Newsom

Erin

Erin, Erin, Erin!

Erin across America

do now cheer me on

can't you hear the song for you?

quick, now - caramel dip

give it up to the runaway ship

hail, now - hail to the bitch

the hairy literary with the nervous, nervous twitch

shy, your light pops out

and we stand there astounded

and we pound our heads and shout

we shout halleluja

look what it did to ya

oh, a horrible mess

and we're eating by the river in the sunday dress

oh, serenade me

eatin' my biscuits and gravy

you are missing from me

as you chug with your uncle in the red red sea

I will wait, or will

knock my knees and talk to you, oh so still

oh Shanandoah

we just a-cross the wide Missouri

you are so bonny - shhhh do not worry

quick, now - caramel dip

give it up to the runaway ship

life's so sweet and so low

buried in the water, yeah, buried in the snow

so dear, deep and so dark

sleeping under papers in the central park

twentieth floor balcony houses what is home to me

twentieth floor balcony houses what is home to me

twenty-up floor balcony houses what is home to me
