The Avett Brothers - Tales Of Coming News lyrics

Your rating:



I'm so tired of hearing tales of coming news

Telling tales of a changing sky

It's just a shame I didn't notice you

Till someone I loved had to die

What made us think that this was so different

Who is driving behind those things you say

Why do you insult me and my friends

Who are my friends anyway

I've spent my life lying now I pay the price

Are these really words of a young man or a worthless human life

I don't mean to scare you with the things I say

I take it back, yes it's a beautiful day

I watched you from the beach when your ship sailed

You made it clear that nothing stays the same

It's getting darker I wonder if you can tell

I wonder when all that changed



You never used to let me go un---

I was so distracted I never saw the rain

You promised you meant every word you said

I wonder when all that changed

It hurts so bad to hear such pretty words coming from somebody like you

I've been looking for so long that I've lost touch

With what's the best something to do

I've got a friend who makes good choices

Everybody likes the way that he sees things

I've got a problem and it walks me daily

Can't you see no one is proud of me

It's a long road alone and I'm not proving

Anything going by myself

When your love life is all that's really moving

Oh sugar girl I really appreciate the help



I had my time with money gold and diamonds

Both went sour before they got to me

I'll be waiting girl but don't be counting hours

I'm not waiting for any other three

I was just a peasant from the highlands

She said don't you call me your mountain girl

I said don't bother me I'm trying to write and don't worry you ain't my mountain girl

I can call you but I'd probably make you cry

These days it's what you often times do

Call the preacher then go call your father

Tell them that the wedding plans have moved

I send a message saying I'll be gone forever

The letter of reply never came

She said that she'd be true but I wouldn't let her

I wonder when all that changed



Hell has no fury like a woman

Happy scorned or otherwise

You can do what you want to with your name

But you can bet I'm changing mine

Well I'd give a $100 to get a letter

If at the bottom it said I miss you bad

See but the truth of the matter is that back home no one really misses me

See how I talk when I'm sad

Since I was young I've known a lot of women...
