lirik lagu john craigie - mallory (live)
[verse 1]
well some shows are good, some shows are bad
but mostly they’re just strange
tell me about your weirdest one
i’ll throw mine back just the same
one time, two deaf girls were the only ones that came to my show
try to beat that my friends, try to beat that. you won’t
oh, oh, oh
[verse 2]
random house show in montreal
the host didn’t make it, she didn’t even call
i sat awkward in the living room
about to give up when in walked these two
and they sat down, expеcted me to play
so i picked up my guitar and startеd to sing
i got through about two or three songs
they didn’t even clap, they just smiled in response
one fell asleep so i decided to take a break
put down my guitar, walked their way
i stuck out my hand and tried to say
the awake one grabbed some paper to write
[chorus]
mallory, sound is all i have
but i’ll come back for you
i’ll come back when i’ve learned more
but mallory, right now sound is all i have
[harmonica]
[verse 3]
and she wrote down her name was mallory
apologized for her friend for falling asleep
told me she was deaf, that’s why she was writing
she asked me if i knew any sign language
and i wrote back that i did not
except the sign for pizza and the sign for smoking pot
she held the pen and wrote with a grin
“what else do you need in the end?”
[chorus]
mallory, sound is all i have
but i’ll come back for you
i’ll come back when i’ve learned more
but mallory, right now sound is all i have
[harmonica]
[verse 4]
and i wrote down, “what are you doing here?”
and she crossed it out. wrote, “what are you doing here?”
i wrote back that it was my job
and then she looked around at the empty room
i wrote down that i was just starting out
and it’s and miss when you’re just starting out
and she wrote back, “i guess that’s true
but me and my friend, we cam just for you”
and i was speechless, i was wordless
i held the paper but i had no response
she felt the pause and let it breathe
then wrote, “if only we had some pizza and some weed”
[chorus]
mallory, sound is all i have
but i’ll come back for you
i’ll come back when i’ve learned more
but mallory, sound is all i have
oh, oh, oh
[verse 5]
well the show was over when the friend woke up
and the piece of paper was nearly all filled up
there was just enough room for me to write
“i hope i can sing to you again sometime”
and i stole this melody from david bowie
i guess it doesn’t matter ’cause you’d never know
when you said he was your favorite i thought that was strange
but now it makes perfect sense to me
and if i see you again, i’ll play you this song
you can feel the vibrations with the hands on the wood
you can read my lips, maybe just enough
to make out the most important parts
[chorus]
mallory, sound is all i have
but i’ll come back for you
i’ll come back when i’ve learned more
but mallory, right sound is all i have
but i’ll come back babe, oh i’ll come back when i’ve learned more
i’ll come back baby, i’ll come back
mallory
mallory oh
mallory
right now sound is all i have
