The Things That Everybody Does-Tift Merritt

[00:05.33]Everybody told me [00:08.64]This is who you have to be. [00:11.13]With my hands in my pockets deep as they'd go [00:15.81]I walked home and packed up my cases to leave. [00:23.11]I searched all over the country. [00:24.49]I went down to the sea. [00:29.79]I talked a lot with the sun and sky. [00:33.78]I didn't talk with anyone else really. [00:35.34]There are the things that everybody does. [00:43.45]I was wondering what was all the fuss. [00:48.20]I couldn't tell exactly why it was [00:53.00]Till there was you. [00:56.68]You found me up in attic [01:08.91]Singing down to leaves. [01:12.22]You caught me reading love letters aloud [01:16.28]To horses and children to stars and to trees. [01:21.77]There are the things that everybody does. [01:26.07]I was wondering what was all the fuss. [01:30.75]I never knew exactly what it was [01:35.37]Till there was you. [01:47.91]But a mountain is still a mountain. [01:51.47]A mountain goes to the sea [01:55.09]No matter what I'd like to pretend [01:58.96]No matter what I'd like it to be. [02:05.64]You know I don't have to stay here. [02:09.38]I could fly off and leave [02:10.75]On the wings from a unicorn's breast [02:16.43]With my typewriter strapped with diamonds to my chest [02:20.67]But how could I go with breakfast not over yet? [02:25.29]These are the things that everybody does. [02:27.35]I was wondering what was all the fuss [02:34.71]But what a lovely morning that it was [02:39.52]When there was you.
