Letter to Lady J (feat. O.A.R. & G. Love & Special Sauce) - Live
My dear old friend, it's you we need
There's blood in the gutters and fear in the street
How long we're to fight for a change that never comes?
Oh, in some ways it's the same
But tonight, the crowd, they came
Fists in the air, candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
But how long's it been since you've been outside?
How long's it been since you opened your eyes?
'Cause I've been to the line and it's all right there
And I cannot wait to get on from—
Arms bent back and blackjack welt
Involuntary tears and the tears we felt
Does it always have to get worse before it gets better?
Aw, in some ways it's the same
But tonight, the crowd, they came
Fists in the air, candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
How long's it been since you've been outside?
How long's it been since you opened your eyes?
'Cause I've been to the line and it's all right there
And I cannot wait to get on from here
(Un, deux, trois)
Virgil Caine, where are you now?
Did they bury the hate when they buried the South?
You got to tell the spirit mystics of tomorrow
That in some ways, it's the same
But tonight, the crowd, they came
Fists in the air, candles and vigils
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes
But how long's it been since you've been outside?
How long's it been since you opened your eyes?
'Cause I've been to the line and it's all right there
I cannot wait to get on from here
(One, two, three)
Hey-ay
Hey-ay
Ho-oh, oh-oh-oh
Hey-ay
Thank you, Boston
