My ginger voice was raw with smoke They hid their smiles when I stood and spoke Some sunny lawn, some Saturday A face was flushed when I went to sing Wild Mountain Thyme But I was crying before the second line The strawberry stripes across my ruddy cheeks got em giggling My eyes are red and wild and white As I choked up over another line For years and year I disappeared Tonight I'm here and I'm giving my best It's all I have The grandkids laugh My linen vest is yellow stained And my teeth are chipped, my beard is gray Your mother left, she's not impressed The wedding guests are starting to get restless And I think I have worn out my welcome But I swear I caught you smile From the corner of my eye When they threw me off the stage Oh I know I saw you smiling I swear I saw you smiling They carried me away Through the center of the crowd On the corner of my eye I swear I saw you smiling You'll always be my darling, sweetheart
I was drowning out the night with the last of the wine And my story began to unwind So I gathered all the shot of a glass from the bar And I left from 17th Street for St. Marks Won't you listen to me now? I was trying all the time Maybe half the time I got you right But not tonight Oh I'll always be lonely And you'll never hear the truth Yeah the truth is there's some distance, but you're listening And I keep talking my way back into your heart Your mama told you I'd long gave up, baby but Your mama lied Half the time you let me slide But not tonight Oh I'll always be lonely And you'll never hear the truth Yeah I'll always be lonely And you'll never hear the truth In the graveyards, in the harbors, in the beer halls and the parks I'll be wandering under unfamiliar stars But the spirits in my heart don't persuade me any more Than my echoes off the brick and mortar walls And the truth is there's some distance, but you're listening And the truth is there's some distance, but you're listening

one of the best shows i've ever seen. This dude is the real deal solo in a small space. As real as it gets.
One of my favorite songs I’m so happy
I love this song! Brilliant performance! I saw Hamilton open for The Decemberists and sing this. I was instantly struck by it.
Can't get enough of this guy. Please return to The Netherlands!!
My ginger voice was raw with smoke
They hid their smiles when I stood and spoke
Some sunny lawn, some Saturday
A face was flushed when I went to sing
Wild Mountain Thyme
But I was crying before the second line
The strawberry stripes across my ruddy cheeks got em giggling
My eyes are red and wild and white
As I choked up over another line
For years and year I disappeared
Tonight I'm here and I'm giving my best
It's all I have
The grandkids laugh
My linen vest is yellow stained
And my teeth are chipped, my beard is gray
Your mother left, she's not impressed
The wedding guests are starting to get restless
And I think I have worn out my welcome
But I swear I caught you smile
From the corner of my eye
When they threw me off the stage
Oh I know I saw you smiling
I swear I saw you smiling
They carried me away
Through the center of the crowd
On the corner of my eye
I swear I saw you smiling
You'll always be my darling, sweetheart

I was drowning out the night with the last of the wine
And my story began to unwind
So I gathered all the shot of a glass from the bar
And I left from 17th Street for St. Marks
Won't you listen to me now?
I was trying all the time
Maybe half the time I got you right
But not tonight
Oh I'll always be lonely
And you'll never hear the truth
Yeah the truth is there's some distance, but you're listening
And I keep talking my way back into your heart
Your mama told you I'd long gave up, baby but
Your mama lied
Half the time you let me slide
But not tonight
Oh I'll always be lonely
And you'll never hear the truth
Yeah I'll always be lonely
And you'll never hear the truth
In the graveyards, in the harbors, in the beer halls and the parks
I'll be wandering under unfamiliar stars
But the spirits in my heart don't persuade me any more
Than my echoes off the brick and mortar walls
And the truth is there's some distance, but you're listening
And the truth is there's some distance, but you're listening
