Hearts Of Palm - Buffalo Tom

Leaving you in the care of others

I won’t be letting you down

Clowning around on the green of this town

I won’t be letting you down

It’s easy to draw yourself a circle

Just trace it back to yourself

A father who can’t hold himself together

A grandson who’s just left the ground

She’s coming in for landing but you’re leaving much too soon

She handles disappointment like her mom

And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away

And to touch each other’s hearts of palm

Flowers on the kitchen table

Not a dry eye in the house

Someone knows you better than I do

That leaves my heart in my mouth

Sunday Catholic morning after shave

Coffee grounds there in the sink

It’s Easter and the bastards haven’t left me

But here is a song you can sing

And to touch each other’s hearts of palm
