Indigo Girls - Cordova [DVD]

Lyrics

The volunteers come for your prayers

And some souvenirs,

With ivory skin and boycott lessons

Year after year.

[Chorus]

Well I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk,

Oh Cordova.

Where I cried and I cried,

I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,

The things that I didn't have.

Now you come to me

With revolution's infidelity,

With blacklisted friends and Tupperware kin,

And your big history.

[Chorus]

I memorize the lullabies

Of dwindling lives.

The lay of the land, the touch of each hand

We lose by and by.

[Chorus]
