Cape lyrics
Song information
Artist: Guy Clark Album: Dublin Blues
Lyrics
Eight years old with flour sack cape Tied all around his neck He climbed up on the garage Figurinwhat the heck He screwed his courage up so tight The whole thing come unwound He got a runninstart and bless his heart He headed for the ground
Chorus
He? one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold you breath Always trust your cape
All grown up with a flour sack cape Tied all around his dream He? full of piss and vinegar He? bustinat the seams He licked his finger and checked the wind It? gonna be do or die He wasn? scared of nothin boys He was pretty sure he could fly
Chorus
Old and grey with a flour sack cape Tied all around his head He? still jumpinoff the garage And will be till he? dead All these years the people said He? actinlike a kid He did not know he could not fly So he did
Chorus
