Cattails (Live) [05/10/22 The Wiltern, Los Angeles, CA] Songtext

Maybe I should make it more in def like
Kinda like it the
I liked it before
Yeah
How clear it is
Maybe a little more down
Yeah that′s nice

Caroline, Caroline
I never could leave you to struggle
Hold the line, hold the line
I'll be there on the double
In time, in time

You don′t need to know why
You don't need to know why when you cry
And I find you there
In your country flair
Middle of the river in a lawn chair
With your wrinkled hands and your silver hair
Leaving me soon and you know where
To where the cattail sways
With the lonesome loon
You′ll be riding that train in late June
With the windows wide by your side
With the windows wide
With the windows wide by your side
And you don't need to know why
You don't need to know why when you cry

Cool
I liked it
Cool

Dry, yeah
I felt like that would have been the
At the show yesterday you told me like that one so I threw it on to
