Letra de Everlasting Light

[VERSE 1]
I was lying on the floor of the playground
You were chasing off a kid with a greyhound
I remember thinking you're the coolest girl I know

You were swinging from the ceiling rafters
It fell around you in a halo of plaster
I don't go to hospitals---I let you go alone

[Coro]
I had my reasons at the time
I had my reasons at the time
Something in the state of mind
Oh, everlasting light...

[VERSE 2]
Why's your father always calling me out, yeah?
There's a saying in the English South:
"You have to put your mind in gear before you drive your mouth."

I got to thinking of legitimate work
But they found the powder in the funeral hearse
And oh! That blessed conjugal, I could not be alone

[Coro]
I had my reasons at the time
I had my reasons at the time
Something in the state of mind

I had my reasons at the time
I had my reasons at the time
Something in the state of mind
Oh, everlasting light...

[INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE]

[Coro]
I had my reasons at the time
I had my reasons at the time
Something in the state of mind

I had my reasons at the time
I had my reasons, yeah
Something in the state of mind
Oh, everlasting light...
