I wanted to name my kid Atticus Finch but we had 2 girls instead 'called 'em both "scout" for a time until I learned that Gregory Peck was dead don't seem right now that he's gone to remember things his way to stand when they'd rather you sit down and let others join in the fray Neon lights of the corner bar have led me home for years wrapped me up and then spit me out with an all knowing sneer then family called and it was time to take that magical mystery ride with one eye closed and picture frames sitting by my bedside Years go by and people too and so few can you recall like an assembly line in a factory or faces going by at the mall and whatever powers you thought you had over the dangers of this world they slide through wrinkled fingertips and laugh as you as you grow old Songtexte but something still comes over you when you watch your children sleep and I think about old Atticus Finch and it damn near makes me weep I wanted to name my kid Atticus Finch but we had 2 beautiful girls instead 'called 'em both "scout" for a time until I learned that Gregory Peck was dead but something still comes over you when you watch your children sleep and I think about old Atticus Finch and it damn near makes me weep Aus Songtexte Mania
