nora jane struthers - champion lyrics
there’s a light on in your hallway
kettle’s screamin’ on the stove
dogs are barking at the back door
bathroom tiles are black with mold
but the babies are all sleepin’
and you’re dreamin’ you’re sixteen
back when life was books and horses
and daddy’s fiddle on tv
i will be your champion
fly your banner in the sun
city streets at dawn are glistening
filth and water rainbow shine
you’re tucked up in your apartment
separated from the grime
but no one comes over for dinner
your little family’s all you need
still it’s hard sometimes to figure
feeling so lonely and so clean
i will be your champion
fly your banner in the sun
taste your victories with my tongue
i will be your champion
miles and miles of empty highway
hours and hours of passing through
you ask me ‘what’s your favorite city?’
i tell you ‘rolling green and marbled blue’
i don’t need you just for this dream
my heart is full of crazy hopes
heavy hopes are hard to shoulder
will you help me scale the slope?
will you be my champion?
fly my banner in the sun
taste my victories with your tongue
will you be my champion?
’cause i will be your champion
