James Lyrics

Working so dirty

But his playing seemed clean

He gave us multiple records

But, Lord, what did they mean

Another slice of the Apple

Fulfilling a dream

But for me

What's for sure

Wasn't me

That was hurt

James

There's a fire in the sky

For you, James

Is that rain from your eyes

It's you, James

I now realize

All the chords that I play

When there's nothing to say

A teenage junkie

With a homesick heart

He detuned his soul

On an open guitar

Rotting core from the Apple

That didn't fall far

From the tree

What's for sure

Wasn't me

That was hurt

James

There's a fire in the sky

For you, James

Maybe rain from your eyes

It's you, James

I now realize

All the words that I sing

When I can't find the strings

Sipping on an Eastern dream

Swallowing the very scene

Holding out the rest for you and me

To interpret his lines

And comfort our minds

James

There's a fire in the sky

For you, James

Maybe rain from your eyes

It's you, James

All the words that I sing

When I can't find the strings

It's you, James
