lyrics

PEOPLE LIKE TO TALK
by Alana Asha Amram
copyright 2013 SESAC

Candle lights grow low
Pay respect to those you know
Lilies fresh with morning dew
Ladies dry their eyes
Always hated long goodbyes
Swing cigarettes stare at their shoes
A line of hands to shake
Pride contorts her face
Tears of hate no veil can hide

She tells me people like to talk
I put my best makeup on
The rain today won't wash their lips away
People like to talk

Coats speckled with rain
Night sky starts to look the same
Tombstone could never hold you down
Above the sunken eyes
A buzzard circles by
Wind in the tree tops sways and glides

She tells me people like to talk
I put my best makeup on
The rain today won't wash their lips away
People like to talk

Dig it straight and neat
Your soul no box can keep
Always in the wind and memories
Daylight burns despair
Nighttime you're always there
Sing me that song to fall asleep
Come to me in a dream
I don't know what it means
Fist full of sand and broken glass

She tells me people like to talk
I put my best makeup on
The rain today won't wash their lips away
People like to talk
