Baltimore Songtext

von Lianne La Havas

Beat-up little seagull
On the maple stair
Trying to find the ocean
Looking everywhere
Hard times in the city
In a hard time by the sea
Get nowhere to run to
There ain't nothing here for free
Around the corner
Waiting for a train
Drunk lion on the sidewalk
Sleeping in the lane
And they hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
Cause the city is dying
And they don't know why
Oh Baltimore
Man is hard
Just to live
Just to live

Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray
By a big old wagon
Gonna roll us all away
Living in the country
Where the mountains high
Never coming back here
Until the day I die
Oh Baltimore
Man is hard
Just to live
Oh Baltimore
Man is hard
Just to live
Just to live

Oh Baltimore
Man is hard
Man is hard
Just to live
Just to live
Just to live
Just to live
