Orphan Lyrics by Jeff Tweedy
[Jeff Tweedy]
I am an orphan
[Jeff Tweedy]
Mom, she died like a desert in bloom
Now I feel for her like an empty tooth
She rests between what is far and near
Where I can’t see her
[Jeff Tweedy]
Now he’s gone, my dad’s gone too
I watched until he was an empty room
He rests between how it is and how it seems
Where I can’t see him
[Jeff Tweedy]
I am an orphan
Bring them back to me
I will forgive them
And let them love me again
[Jeff Tweedy]
I’m lonely like I’ve never known
We went as far as love can go
They rest between the edges of my dreams
Where I won’t need them
[Jeff Tweedy]
I am an orphan
Bring them back to me
I will forgive them
Let them love me again
