Reincarnation Songtext

von Jeff Tweedy

If I was a bird and you was a fish If l was a bird and you was a fish
What would we do, l guess we'd wish what would we do, l guess we'd wish
For re-incarnation, re-incarnation for re-incarnation, re-incarnation
Wouldn't it be a sensation wouldn't it be a sensation
To come back too, like reincarnation to come back too, like reincarnation

If l was a tree and you was a flower If l was a tree and you was a flower
What would we do, l guess we'd wait for the power what would we do, l guess we'd wait for the power
Of re-incarnation, re-incarnation, of re-incarnation, re-incarnation,
Wouldn't it be a sensation wouldn't it be a sensation
To come back too, like reincarnation to come back too, like reincarnation

L love you, and don't you know l always will l love you, and don't you know l always will
You're a girl, l'm a boy, you're a girl, l'm a boy,
But suppose you were a rose but suppose you were a rose
And l was a whip-poor-will and l was a whip-poor-will

True Love Will Find You In the End

True love will find you in the end
Your gonna find out who was your friend
Don't be sad I know you will
But don't give up until?
True love will find you in the end

This is a promise with a catch
Only if your lookin' can it find you
Cause true love is searchin' too
How can it recognize you
Unless you step out into the light..ight

Don't be sad I know you will
But don't give up until?
True love will find you in the end

Don't be sad I know you will
But don't give up until?
True love will find you in the end
Your gonna find out who just was your friend

Don't be sad I know you will
But don't give up until?
True love will find you in the end
True love will find you in the end
True love will find you in the end
True love will find you in the end

I Wish I was Your Mother

Well I scream at you for sharin'
I curse you just for carin'
I hate the clothes your wearin'
Cause they're so pretty

And I tell you not to see me
I tell you not to feel me
I'll make your life a drag
Such a pity

And I watch your sparkle fadin'
I watch your warm glow fadin'
Bows a ses
Es seso

Well I didn't mean to upset you
We've got so much crap to get through
If I could make it any easier than I would

Chorus
Well I wish I was your Mother
I wish I'd been your father
Cause then I would have seen you
Would have been you as a child
Playin' houses with your sisters
And wrestle with all your brothers
And then who knows I might have
Felt a family for a while

There's no use in me pretendin'
You give and I do the spendin'
Is there a happy ending
AwI don't think so

Because even if we make it
I'll be too far out to take it
Your gonna have to shake it
From my head

Well I wish I was your Mother
I wish I'd been your father
Cause then I would have seen you
Would have been you as a child
Playin' houses with your sisters
And wrestle with all your brothers
And then who knows I might have
Felt a family for a while

Promising

Cross your fingers behind your back
Squeeze mine, until they crack
I must have known, that you were just promising
Promisin'?promisin'

Toothy smile, girly style
In the back yard, all the while
I must have known, that you where just promising
Promisin'?promisin'

I promise you and you promise me
Not to admit defeat
I promise?you promise me

It's comforting, to wear your ring
Over my head, around my finger
I must of known, that you where just promising
Promisin'?promisin'

And I promise you and you promise me
Not to admit defeat
I promise, you promise me
I promise, you promise me

I'll Make Believe That She's You (Jim Cuddy)
W/ Jeff Tweedy

I can't understand why the touch of her hand
On my cheek leaves me feelin' so weak and uneasy I know?
She pulls her hair back the same way I've seen you do

I've had enough my recovery's tough
And I'm not out here lookin' to start up with someone new
So in the end just before I surrender, I'll make believe that she's you

Beautiful faces I've seen in these places
Can make your heart heavy and sad with a drink or two
I don't need that yet, I got a sea of regret to go through

She sits here waitin' and I'm still debatin'
There's a cold night ahead we'd be helpin' each other through
So in the end just before I surrender, I'll make believe that she's you

I'll make believe that I'm kissin' the lips that are gone
Truth is I'm havin' trouble just carrying on
(Solo) repeat bridge

She sits here waitin' while I'm still debatin'
There's a cold night ahead we'd be helpin' each other through
So in the end just before I surrender, I'll make believe she's you
