Birmingham - Mikey Wax

I didn’t have a plan

I was running from all I can

Hoping to safely land in the keys somewhere

With my feet in the sand

But I finally made a stand

When I broke down in Birmingham

You kindly gave your hand

And I held on tight as if you were my prayer

You said «Stay with me

I will help you to breath»

I said «I'm not who you think I am

But I’ll gladly be your man

In Birmingham»

You took me into your past

With letters and photographs

You told me your father left

When you were only ten and that he never came back

And I saw you wave your hand

As I was leaving from Birmingham

You said that if I can I should come back soon

I should remember that

You can stay with me

I will help you to breath

But I said «I'm not who you think I am

But I’ll gladly be your man

In Birmingham»

And we stood face to face

Outside in the pouring rain

You said «don't forget my name

When you find your way»

«Cause you can stay with me

I will help you to breath»

But I said «I'm not who you think I am

But I’ll gladly be your man

In Birmingham»
