Mavis Staples - Impressionable lyrics
Your rating:
Can I wait when your mighty arms are all that’s holding me? Can I wait when everything is crashing down on me? When life is too much to bear will I stay there? I saved this dance for you. I wore my finest suit. I cleaned myself up and I memorized all the moves. Oh how I long for this song to play forever and forever more. Through it’s duration I live, and you’re the melody that I live for. But the song ends, and so plays the all too familiar last note Leading so gracefully into the song that only I wrote Whisked away, now holding onto a memory of the song I once knew. Complacent, yet remembering how I felt when I felt you. I’m new. I’m frail. I’m fragile… So impressionable, yet so hard to change. Change me!
