Lonesome Serenade Songtext
von Grant‐Lee Phillips

World you are a mill
Do you grind away until
Every grain of life is tilled

Girl you′re like a running stream
And every line I've tossed you′ve washed it clean
Upon the shore you're headed for the sea

There's a peace that I′ve always found
In a lonesome serenade
Such a piece of mind overwhelms
As my every desire′s replayed
Oh oh oh in a lonesome serenade

Rowed on paddle boats
In a past of mine I've never known
On a lake of polished stone


Take us far away
To an island where she can′t be swayed
By another man's embrace

There′s a peace that I've always found
In a lonesome serenade
Such a piece of mind overwhelms
As my every desire′s replayed
Oh oh oh in a lonesome serenade

Warmed when you become
Reckon all that growings pains your soul
Still you smile what's done is done

There's a peace that I′ve always found
In a lonesome serenade
Such a piece of mind overwhelms
As my every desire′s replayed
Oh oh oh like a lonesome serenade
