Baby Center Stage

Baby Center Stage - Iron & Wine

Mama called you Baby Center Stage

She could really run her mouth

Baton Rouge called you Petite Ange

When Birmingham had run you out

Doesn't anybody see how scared you are

There was a time when I was running you down

But the world kept spinning around

Doesn't anybody see how scared you are

There was a time when you were running to me

But the lightning spared the tall tree

When your moon lights up the riverside

Slinging mud and bad blood

You can call me anytime

All it's worth

Louisiana's still not enough

In your restless days

I got lost I got saved

In your restless nights

I swung blind somehow falling into the light

Doesn't anybody see how scared you are

There was a time I was running you down

But the world kept spinning around

Doesn't anybody see how scared you are

There was a time when you were running to me

But the hurricane had mercy

In your restless days

All that wind all those waves

In your restless nights

We closed our eyes

Killed each other and came to life

In your restless days

I made my bed and dug my grave

In your restless nights

We both swung blind

Somehow falling into the light
