Hello friends (:
I wrote Golden Shears about some airport realizations I've had on my recent travels. I'm currently nomading (is that a word?) and writing music in different countries. It's been such a privilege to see different parts of the world and I am forever grateful that your support is allowing me to do this. Thank you so so much for listening for the past six(!!) years. I cannot wait to meet more of you on tour next year!
Much love,
Andrew
Lyrics:
Affordable housing near the airport
Watching planes go by
But you can never board
'Cause your money's tight
Is it a sick joke?
On welfare right near the runway
But I think I got the answer
Move the rich right there
And they can prosper
Make their plane on time
Sad irony
Staring out the window of economy
Hello
Tell me all the things you would change my dear
If you had some golden shears
What would be the first cut?
And ohhhh
If they sold a ring with blood and tears
Could we still hold it dear?
Would it have ever been cut?
The bookstore became a brewery
And the coffee shop is selling jewelry
'Cause Mom and Pop can't afford the new lease
Joni Mitchell said it first in '70, Yellow Taxi
Positively I need a little more positivity
As I sip my beer in the parking lot
That the new store bought, guess I'm alright
In fact it's quite nice in the light
Hello
Tell me all the things you would change my dear
If you had some golden shears
What would be the first cut?
And ohhhh
If they sold a ring with blood and tears
Could we still hold it dear?
Would it have ever been cut?
