Devendra Banhart – The Charles C. Leary lyrics

Album: Oh Me Oh My...

I lost the gloves that my mother gave to me while on my ways to the make believe sea,
I lost the rings that my lover gave to me while on my way to the red salt sea
da da da ooo rah
And I lost my ways to my happy pen club and ended up where I still cant say but I lost my favourite pen on the way.

I lost my friend but that couldn't be,
I lost the friend who sang with me
I lost my son but that couldn't be,
I lost the son who sat on my knee
And I lost my man but that couldn't be,
I lost the one who I let inside me,
And I lost my friends that my love and I shared while on my way to the make believe cares
Da da da ooo rah

I lost the tunes that stuck to my ears, while on my ways to the make believe hears.
And I saw sapin as she sank to the sea, the only person left on the island was me
da da da ooo rah

And I love the man who took care of me, he owns the ship the Charles C Leary.
Yes I love the man who took care of me, he sails the world on the Charles C Leary.
