An adult I knew as a child - a man child, a gentle soul.
Lyrics
FAWM *12 - 17/02/09
James
1.
You say you hear the flowers talking ?
And you believe that all they say is true
You say you see the flowers breathing ?
Did they breathe their scented breath on you?
2.
When we meet you talk about the weather ?
You say the sun will soon be out again ?
You always carry round a red umbrella ?
So you will never be caught out by the rain
By the rain, by the rain
Pre Chorus: ?
You say my, my, my - my, my, my, my name is James ?
You say my, my, my - my, my, my, my name is James
Chorus: ?
They say you're off the wall, you've fallen off the wall ?
You're bouncing off the wall - they say ?
It's high time you were sent away, time that you were put away ?
Time for you to go away they say - well who are they? ?
Hey James, who are they?
3.
In your dreams you walk the streets of heaven ?
Where passing angels stop and talk to you ?
Uncle Ernie asks if you've seen Elvis ?
You nod your head and sing out blue suede shoes
4.
Father John caught you drinking holy water ?
He said your mind is like a broken toy ?
It was the only time I saw you crying ?
You said that they were only tears of joy
Tears of joy, tears of joy
Pre Chorus: ?
Chorus: ?
Bridge:
You wake up every morning and start your day in prayer
James, the way you talk to Jesus, makes me believe he’s there
Pre Chorus: ?
Chorus: ?
