Lyrics Ray LaMontagne

Ray LaMontagne

Smashing

Listen to the sound of the seaside crashing

Cloak on a hook in the hallway

Smashing red and yellow Teacups

Tripping over clover

"Have another pull" cries the Piping Plover

I'll be the one who stays

I'll be the one who stays

Sitting in the cool of the shadows under

Can you hear the laughter of the River Daughter?

Under water fish are flashing

In the sky a thunder crashing

I'll be the one who stays

I'll be the one who stays

I look at you and I don't know who I am

I look at you, I see my life as a sham

Am I just a con-man?

I fooled you once and I can do it again

I'll be the one who stays

I'll be the one who stays

You should be here with me now

Looking through the glass

as the Moon rolls over Church and Steeple, Hill and Harbor

Do you ever wonder what it is inside us?

Do you ever wonder where it is inside us?

I'll be the one who stays

I'll be the one who says

I look at you and I don't know who I am

I look at you, I see my life as a sham

Am I just a con-man?

I fooled you once and I can do it again

I'll be the one who stays

I'll be the one who stays

You should be here with me now

You should be here with me now
