Lyrics Okkervil River

Okkervil River

Black Sheep Boy

Here I am back home again

I'm here to rest

all they ask is where I've been

knowing I've been West

I'm the family's unowned boy

golden curls of envied hair

pretty girls with faces fair

see the shine in the Black Sheep Boy

If you love me you'll let me live in peace

please understand

that the Black Sheep can wear the golden fleece

and hold a winning hand

I'm the family's unowned boy

golden curls of envied hair

pretty girls with faces fair

see the shine in the Black Sheep Boy

I'm the family's unowned boy

golden curls of envied hair

pretty girls with faces fair

see the shine in the Black Sheep Boy
