Charlie
Charlies in the lounge room
Curled upon grandma's knee
The fires warm a patchwork quilt
A lamp and a cup of tea
Open old king James
And she reads her favourite stories
Of a man who healed and helped
Sent demons to the sea
Looking into his confused hazel eyes
She said he did it
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
Jane came in like a whirlwind
First the ringing bells then the news
That all their love seemed destined
For a family of two
Now the bills are stacking up
Beside the letter that they're letting him go
A kettle boils and shaky hands
Switch on the radio
Pulled close into a worn-out shuffle
Charlie sighs
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time
Now Charlie leads the circle
With his cracked voice and tired bones
There's sweet black coffee serenity
Some new faces and some old
And a mother is asking how
To keep the memories at bay
Don't know if I can take another day
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time
Curled upon grandma's knee
The fires warm a patchwork quilt
A lamp and a cup of tea
Open old king James
And she reads her favourite stories
Of a man who healed and helped
Sent demons to the sea
Looking into his confused hazel eyes
She said he did it
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
Jane came in like a whirlwind
First the ringing bells then the news
That all their love seemed destined
For a family of two
Now the bills are stacking up
Beside the letter that they're letting him go
A kettle boils and shaky hands
Switch on the radio
Pulled close into a worn-out shuffle
Charlie sighs
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time
Now Charlie leads the circle
With his cracked voice and tired bones
There's sweet black coffee serenity
Some new faces and some old
And a mother is asking how
To keep the memories at bay
Don't know if I can take another day
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time dear
One devil at a time
One devil at a time
