From the recording Albero della Vita
Lyrics
Jeannie told me I’d be her baby
Until at least next fall
I took my chance and I took my chances
And now you’re all that I want
But Jeannie tell me am I still your baby
When you wear paper and gold
And I wish you’d hold me and I know you’re lonely
But I don’t fit your mold
Oh no, and even so…
Oh I’m lost and alive, captive in moments that felt like omens
Oh and it’s you who’s on my mind, but I’m just fine, ‘cause that’s what’s right, oh
Hey, hey, baby, that’s life and I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Yeah it’s you who’s on my mind, and I’m just fine, ‘cause that’s what’s right, oh
Jeannie remember every December
The country roads in the night
We burned our nights away like we were kids to stay
Mixtapes and fog on the panes
Jeannie console me, I’m old and worried
That things’ll never be the same
And I should go home now, but just one more go around
Your hearth alight when it rains
Oh and when it rains, it’s said to pour
And there’s nothing more that I could ask for
When I’m with you, oh yeah it’s true
You’re the only one for me, oh Jeannie baby
Oh…
Oh I’m lost and alive, captive in moments that felt like omens
Oh and it’s you who’s on my mind, but I’m just fine, ‘cause that’s what’s right, oh
Hey hey, baby that’s life, and I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Yeah it’s you who’s on my mind, but that’s alright, and so am I
Oh…
