Emily King - Caliche

Текст песни

Ooh, on that stormy night, he breaks down
Follow the star that led him here
He knows the story well, he’s been along this road
He’s been the sun, he’s been the stone
(First I wanted)
Knock on the window, he turn around
No one inside, just wind and rain
He’s seen the stormy weather, he’s been along this road
He thinks that he can find it out here alone
(First I wanted) First I wanted him bad
(Then I needed) Ooh, then I needed him bad
(Then I fought it off good) Then I fought it off
(Then I mistreated him) Oh
(And then I let him down easy) Tried to let him down
(Shake) No, I couldn’t shake it
I try, I try, I try to let him down
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, out in the burning light, she looks down
(First she wanted)
A desert cracks beneath her toes
She wandered through this valley, she’s heard the story told
She’s been the sun, she’s been the stone
(First she wanted)
Her spirit’s calling, shadows in her eyes
She looks to find it somewhere out in the moonlight
Oh, she knows the story well, she’s been along this road
There ain’t no use in fighting, he’s got control
(First I wanted) First I wanted him bad
(Then I needed) Ooh, then I needed him bad
(Then I fought it off good) Then I fought it off
(Then I mistreated him) Oh
(And then I let him down easy) Tried to let him down
(Shake) No, I couldn’t shake it
I try, I try, I try to let him down
Working that old caliche, the spirits call my name
A garden of temptation and no one left to blame
Working that old caliche, the spirits call his name
A garden of temptation and no one left to blame
(First I wanted) First I wanted him bad
(Then I needed) Ooh, then I needed him bad
(Then I fought it off good) Then I fought it off
(Then I mistreated him) Oh
(And then I let him down easy) Tried to let him down
(Shake) No, I couldn’t shake it
I try, I try, I try to let him down
Ooh, ooh
