Great Wife Shark

Oh my dear I can't stay here no more
Never been one to stay out of the sun
But I can't be confined to the shore
This old car's got room
Well I'd leave this guitar before I let go of you
So let's take a bite of those queen city sights
Maybe the stars and the moon

Wrote it in a letter but I could have said it better
If I'd had another couple of days
It said you are the reason for love songs
And you sure do make em easier to play
I might've lost all of that steam
Worried bout the money and what everybody thinks
But you bring me back to myself
And I don't care
I don't care if it sells

We're gonna throw that line and hold
Do you mind if I jump in?
You taught me to love and my father taught me to swim
We're gonna throw that line and hold
Gonna throw that line again
You taught me to love and my father taught me to swim

Oh my dear I still forget the sound
But it's clear when I hear and it's near and it's dear
And it's clearer when you're around
And I've seen God in the darkest of places
In kindness in faces, in kindness with no face at all
In the bars in the subway cars
On the highways and byways and darlin he's there in your heart
There in your heart

And we throw that line and hold
Do you mind if I jump in?
You taught me to love and my father taught me to swim
We're gonna throw that line and hold
Gonna throw that line again
You taught me to love and my father taught me to swim

Well I was 17 and my heart first broke
Like a promise, a fall or a wave
I was 23 and it still wouldn't start
I was beat like a heart
I said this old car's got room
Let's see what this engine can do
And the tour that was born to be weary and worn
Brought me back to the bay

And we throw that line and hold
Do you mind if I jump in?
You taught me to love and my father taught me to swim
We're gonna throw that line and hold
Gonna throw that line again
You taught me to love and my father taught me to swim
