Lonesome Serenade - Grant-Lee Phillips

World you are a mill

Do you grind away until

Every grain of life is tilled

Girl you’re like a running stream

And every line I’ve tossed you’ve washed it clean

Upon the shore you’re headed for the sea

There’s a peace that I’ve always found

In a lonesome serenade

Such a piece of mind overwhelms

As my every desire’s replayed

Oh oh oh in a lonesome serenade

Rowed on paddle boats

In a past of mine I’ve never known

On a lake of polished stone

Take us far away

To an island where she can’t be swayed

By another man’s embrace

There’s a peace that I’ve always found

In a lonesome serenade

Such a piece of mind overwhelms

As my every desire’s replayed

Oh oh oh in a lonesome serenade

Warmed when you become

Reckon all that growin' pains you some

Still you smile what’s done is done

There’s a peace that I’ve always found

In a lonesome serenade

Such a piece of mind overwhelms

As my every desire’s replayed

Oh oh oh like a lonesome serenade
