lirik lagu amelia day - the songwriter
[verse 1]
growin’ up and on in saskatchewan
where the river’s freezin’ over in the city of bridges
but you’ll sleep with the fishes if you cross ’em while you’re sober
she questions the bible, skips over revival
but goes to church choir with the smokers
says she’ll be a folksinger
mama never believed her, so she did it just to show her, now
ooo, ooo, ooo
oh, oh, oh
[verse 2]
askin’ hundred apiece for the union fees
but just 15 a week can’t afford to
pay out the venues, so she’s sellin’ the menus
pourin’ coffee for those with more fortune
missin’ the statements, playin’ coffeehouse bas~m~nts
entertainin’ on a stool in the corner
alone in an attic with the sound of the traffic
romantic who needs to start over
[chorus]
now, everybody listens to the songwriter
claimin’ they know every single word
now, everybody sings the songs of the writer
but no one knows the writer but her
[verse 3]
trekkin’ cross~country, caught a flight for the hungry
appetite for a bite of the apple
circlin’ the circuit, call it god~given purpose
a wordsmith whose word’s worth a gamble
her pen to the paper, fin’lly fame found her favor
fieldin’ calls from the industry handles
down the road again, down the coast
found some friends, cut her crown from a canyon of laurel
[chorus]
now, everybody listens to the songwriter
claimin’ they know every single word
everybody sings the songs of the writer
but no one knows the writer but her
[bridge]
tourin’ the nation, soarin’ high ‘bove her station
serenadin’ the boys who adore her
they worship the mystic, long~haired hippie heuristic
a prophet for poet performers
afraid of the sainthood, she escapes to the backwoods
eve all alone in the orchard
rebirth, resurrection, arbitrary expressions for findin’ a way to move forward
[chorus]
now, everybody listens to the songwriter
claimin’ they know every single word
now, everybody sings the songs of the writer
but no one knows the writer but her
no one knows the writer but her
no one knows the writer but her
