venice (us) - jacaranda street lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
my mother told me as a child
she lived on jacaranda street
with sidewalks covered in purple flowers
from the jacaranda trees

[verse 2]
she didn’t live there long
but then, she didn’t live long anywhere
rolled around from town to town
like a santa ana breeze

[refrain]
always a new world
always the new girl

[verse 3]
her father was a bootlegger
a charmer in a model t
he played the keys, he spoke chinese
knew every back road

[verse 4]
but half the time he wasn’t there
and left her in her mother’s care
they’d move and live and move again
or so the legend goes

[refrain]
always a new world
always the new girl

[chorus]
it takes a certain kind of soul
to come from nearly nothing
and turn it into something grand
always looking for a golden door
a place to call her home
praying for the wanderer’s holy land
can anybody really understand?

[verse 5]
my mother told me as a child
she left her favourite doll behind
no time to cry or say goodbye
just travelling on again

[verse 6]
and by the time of caps and gowns
she lived in over 30 towns
she’d meet someone and then it was done
lost another friend

[refrain]
always a new world
always the new girl

[chorus]
it takes a certain kind of soul
to come from nearly nothing
and turn it into something grand
always looking for a golden door
a place to call her home
praying for the wanderer’s holy land
can anybody really understand?

[bridge]
jacaranda
jacaranda
jacaranda
jacaranda

[verse 7]
my mother told me as a child
she lived on jacaranda street
i like to think she found some peace
under jacaranda trees

[chorus]
it takes a certain kind of soul
to come from nearly nothing
and turn it into something grand
always looking for a golden door
a place to call her home
praying for the wanderer’s holy land
can anybody really understand?
