Lyrics

“Rags and Tatters”

(verse 1)
There was a crestfallen homeless heart
There was another that was a world apart
In an eastern city down a nowhere road
There was a moment when she laid to rest
Wasted dreams that now were dead
All the promises that ended way to soon

You clear the dust you clean the rust of old
A brand new start is sometimes hard as gold

(chorus)
In Rags and Tatters
Always with a stroke of grey
Things that mattered never carried any weight
Endless chatter dance around everything
Sometimes you’re left with change
Better to walk than fade
In Rags and Tatters

(verse 2)
She loved Sundays and flower beds
Dreams of castles and moving west
The warmth of summer, and sand beneath her heels
The world will spin and race in years
You sit still you’ll, disappear
You drown in another
You drown beneath their pier

She could’ve stayed to long
Just like mom had done
In the shadow of a failure
Never one to run

(Chorus)
In Rags and Tatters
Always with a stroke of grey
Things that mattered never carried any weight
Endless chatter dance around everything
Sometimes you’re left with change
Better to walk than fade
In Rags and Tatters
(bridge)
She had a record she used to play
A young girl would drift and sway
It was incense candles and rings
Her favorite things
She would sing
The songs they would play
And take her away

(Solo)
It’s the right season
Every reason has come
To look over a shoulder
At what’s begun

(Chorus)
In Rags and Tatters
Always with a stroke of grey
Things that mattered never carried any weight
Endless chatter dance around everything
Sometimes you’re left with change
Better to walk than fade
In Rags and Tatters
