Leaving you in the care of others I won't be letting you down Clowning around on the green of this town I won't be letting you down It's easy to draw yourself a circle Just trace it back to yourself A father who can't hold himself together A grandson who's just left the ground She's coming in for landing but you're leaving much too soon She handles disappointment like her mom And I wanted her to meet you and to carry her away And to touch each other's hearts of palm Flowers on the kitchen table Not a dry eye in the house Someone knows you better than I do That leaves my heart in my mouth Chorus Sunday Catholic morning after shave Coffee grounds there in the sink It's Easter and the bastards haven't left me But here is a song you can sing Chorus And to touch each other's hearts of palm.
