joel porter - a costly collection lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
i am a simple collector
here lay the sum of my finds
parts of me so long forgotten and heavy
carried through year 29

[verse 2]
there are my tender and trepid
here my condemned and admired
pieces of silver i say that i’m proud of
some to explain why i hide

[verse 3]
i am a simple collector
and the collection at times
made of old coins and old cards kept in boxes
i am the sum of my finds

[verse 4]
i’m what remains of the young boy
riding a trike down the stairs
split his chin open, when mothеr consoled him
he got up to ride down again

[verse 5]
i’m in thе break in the summer
strings tied to kites in the park
the sweat and the sand and our knees with their red marks
our mission to outrun the dark
[verse 6]
i’m the remarks of my father
winter when i crashed the car
the truth suffocated, confession belated
he forgave my ignorant heart

[verse 7]
i’m in the place you were made queen
autumn in old custer park
and fixed in my ring was the message affirming
that you are the one for my heart

[verse 8]
i’m in the hickory kitchen
wiping the rain from your eyes
the reckless exchange of my honest mistake
all it took to see part of you die

[verse 9]
i’m in the ripe heavy closure
of my grandfather’s goodbye
and all that remains as my memory takes them
are patterns for how to love kind

[chorus]
i am a simple collector
and a collection of mine
made up of coins and old cards kept in boxes
i am the sum of my time here
[outro]
oh i think i can bare this
oh i’m ready to share it
oh the costly collection
mhhm my costly collection
ohhhh think i’m ready to share it
