eli conley - send out your sentries lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i’ve got the blues and they are calling
calling me down this well
i see the leaves, but they ain’t falling
the northern california fall stays green so well

[chorus]
so send out your sentries and surround me
prodigals, dogs and thieves are the ones who ground me
i have been all of these
and now i’m the princess
send out your sentries

[verse 2]
i watch my mother read my letters
and hold them ever closer to her heart
believing i will grow more distant
with every step i take toward my art

[chorus]
send out your sentries and surround me
prodigals, dogs and thieves are the ones who ground me
i have been all of these
and now i’m the princess
send out your sentries
[verse 3]
oh pretty dress, you are my curtain
i tacked you there to block the eastern sky
i never quite could say i loved them
but now i think i know the reason why

[chorus]
send out your sentries and surround me
prodigals, dogs and thieves are the ones who ground me
i have been all of these
and now i’m the princess

[bridge]
james baldwin told the truth
when he said that white kids lose our youth
when we realize it’s all been lies
don’t know why that takes us by surprise

[verse 4]
so as you pack your bags choose wisely
which parts you take and which you leave behind
’cause what you leave becomes your shadow
and what you take becomes your conscious mind

[chorus]
send out your sentries and surround me
prodigals, dogs and thieves are the ones who ground me
i have been all of these
and now i’m the princess
