lyrics

Sometimes I put my hair up
So the light can shine in my face
And sometimes when I'm lonely
I wish a needle to be back in place

Wax cutter out in the wind
Break through a ball and chain
And sometimes I put my hair up

And all of the tears in the world
Can't grind me into a pearl
Nighttime descends quickly
While I'm out bumming for a light

Ever learning the nearness of condone and condemn
As the night pin cushions the firmament
And sometimes I put my hair up

Oh, it never was that boy was it, girl
Or all the joy and pain in this whole damned world
To be in love with love
Is to be a diving dove

Don't bring me my boots and saddle
All these desperados make my head rattle
And sometimes I put my hair up
