Lyrics - 4th Of July by Mann Aimee

Today's the fourth of
Julyanother
June has gone byand when they light up our town
I just thinkwhat a waste of gunpowder and sky
I'm certain that
I am alonein harbouring thoughts of our homeit's one of my faults that
I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
Oh, baby,
I wonder - if when you are older - someday- you'll wake up and say, '
My
God,
I should have told her - what would it take?
But now here
I am and the world's gotten colder and she's got the river down which
I sold her.'
So that's today's memory lanewith all the pathos and painanother chapter in a book where the chapters areendlessand they're always the samea verse, then a verse, and refrain
Oh, baby,
I wonder - if when you are older - someday- you'll wake up and say, '
My
God,
I should have told her - what would it take?
But now here
I am and the world's gotten colder and she's got the river down which
I sold her.'
