So Long to the Headstrong Songtext
von Fleet Foxes

This morning I received air mail letter three
From my connection overseas
I pulled the paper back
You begin your attack
And it means

Of all the places I laid down my head
I think of two I regret
Love isn′t easy my baby you're sayin′ today, woah-oh

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away
On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay
On a continental steam ship sailin' away
On a one way ticket on a first class airplane
I wanna know what you′re thinkin′ about
Don't just let me go, woah-oh, woah-oh

Four hundred days have passed since I′ve heard from you last
I'm getting worried, I admit
Maybe it′s nothing much
There's nicer shores in sight
Oh, I just don′t know


Of all the places I laid down my head
I think of two I regret
Love isn't easy my baby will tell you today, woah-oh

But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away
On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay
On a continental steam ship sailin′ away
On a one way ticket on a first class airplane
I wanna know what you′re thinkin' about
Don′t just let me go, woah-oh, woah-oh

I'm sayin′ so long
I want my baby back
I know it's hard to see
Why she′s in love with me, yeah
I'm sayin' so long
I want my baby back
I know it′s hard to see
Why she′s in love with me, yeah
So long to the headstrong
I wasn't qualified to lead that city life
That′s all I have to say, yeah, uh
