Just Like Me
from American Drab by Nick Evans
lyrics
I stole my smile from an alabaster statue
when he smiled back at you
with lips curled like mine
There was a time; you clung to me gently
when the rain in the valley
cloaked the amber-lit, western skyline
The saints of old
like lovers past
and pious nonbelievers,
they're just like me, hallelujah
I still see you glide through the water
and cut all the switchbacks
to the tune of a million white lies
When I try to put it all down dear
the ink bleeds right through clear
to the back of the newsprint pile
The saints of old
like lovers past
and pious nonbelievers,
they're just like me, hallelujah
The virgin forest
ravaged last
the tides that rise to meet you,
they're just like me, hallelujah
when he smiled back at you
with lips curled like mine
There was a time; you clung to me gently
when the rain in the valley
cloaked the amber-lit, western skyline
The saints of old
like lovers past
and pious nonbelievers,
they're just like me, hallelujah
I still see you glide through the water
and cut all the switchbacks
to the tune of a million white lies
When I try to put it all down dear
the ink bleeds right through clear
to the back of the newsprint pile
The saints of old
like lovers past
and pious nonbelievers,
they're just like me, hallelujah
The virgin forest
ravaged last
the tides that rise to meet you,
they're just like me, hallelujah
