James - Maggie Rogers

«Too young, too thoughtless», I said to myself

With idealistic visions all perched on the shelf

And I’m still hoping, waiting for you to come home

May your snow capped mountains carry you far

May they stand as protectors wherever you are

May you stay safe and happy all of your days

Oh James

Oh James

Maybe you’re in love or hung up on another

Maybe you found a far prettier lover

Maybe you’ll paint her a picture like you did for me

You color your world with that Neverland smile

But it goes dark in pieces every once in a while

And on my birthday I told you, «Dont worry, there’ll be other days.»

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

I’ll always be happy if you choose to call

Or write me a letter saying all that you saw and

How things have changed since our days there on Noxontown Pond

No don’t be a stranger, no don’t go too far

And though you love places that have lots of stars

Just know in the city, you’ll always have a place to stay

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James

Oh James
