Okkervil River

Okkervil River - Ciaran Lavery

Okkervil river on the radio you never heard them before

Remember when your dad gave you hell and you cried on the bathroom floor

And we saved all our money for the day we'd up and get away

We never said sorry no we never felt bad about anything

Oh nah nah oh

Oh nah nah oh

Winter rolled in like a hurricane boy and it knocked me around

The days grew thin I was on my bike watching the lights come down

Older man comes saying why you gotta be so loud

Don't you know Mister there's no where to go in this one way town

Except straight down down like a falling wind

We were young we were broke

We had everything so forget me not for when I was fifteen

I was shy I was green I had everything

I had everything

Oh nah nah oh oh nah nah oh oh nah nah oh

Oh nah nah oh

Down like a tired day

I've a broken all the promises made

To not grow up to keep hold of the simple things

For when I was fifteen I had everything

I had everything
