letra de clarence clemons - the metermaids

the good lord gave me a heart like a lion and a body like a zoo
if my blood is the ocean then music is the moon
if you held my skin to the light and pulled it tight you could see right through
i’ve been trying my whole life to to explain this feeling inside
i felt it ever since my grandfather died
i want to tell you how i can feel the ache in your sides
how my chest is big enough to take yours and make them mine

tell my sister that she’s like the light
not a building in new york to contain her
tell her she can talk as loud as she wants to
tell her she’s too strong for these strangers
tell my brother that he’s like a rock
always there you don’t have to think twice
tell him he’s too smart for these crumb bums
tell him don’t worry, son. live life

tell my father that he’s like the tide
he’s got life pouring out of his skin
tell him when i think about the kind of man i want to be i think about him
tell my mother that she’s like the earth
she’s all there is. she’s everything
tell her when she’s driving and
a song comes on the radio that h-ll yeah she should sing

tell six guns that he changed my life
tell him how the universe forced us together
forget the music or the stage
the words written on a page
i love you, money. you’re my brother
tell my lady that she’s like the stars
without her i would never know the way
tell her as long as i know that she’s out there
i know that everything is going to be ok

everybody’s gotta stand on their own
i’m not afraid. i feel strong
i don’t need you to pick me up
but i might need a friend that i can lean on
everybody’s gotta stand on their own
i’m not afraid. i feel strong (okay!)
i don’t need you to pick me up
but i might need a friend that i can lean on

the old man gave me this insatiable thirst
and i’ve tried so hard to know what it’s about
open up my veins and they would gasp and cough up dust
i could fit the ocean in my mouth
i don’t recall the first time thinking things weren’t working out
i don’t remember how i felt when i was born
but i do recall this one time where the wind just wrecked our sh-t and tore our house down but i swear there was no storm

i think that’s maybe the year that norman lived with me and mom
but my memory’s cr-p. i could be wrong
i’m pretty sure around that time i tried to drive forever til the road would swallow me and i’d be gone
i felt so f-cking bad because todd’s dad died driving the train. and mine’s just sleeping on a futon down in denver
family’s more than blood
my brothers kept my head up in the flood
because you don’t get to pick the things that last forever

tell my big brother that i’m sorry
that i wish i could make everything new
that even though we don’t talk i know deep down he’s a good man. i keep him in my heart in everything i do
tell my father that he might not believe me, but i admire him for everything he’s done
and i understand how hard it must have been to make those choices but i’m ok. and i’m proud to be his son

tell my mother that i feel the pain she’s been through
and i wish i could have done more than i did
but i am the man i am because of her
i hope she knows that
it’s just hard to say that sh-t when you’re a kid
tell sean i got no words left to describe it
that i can’t write it. that there’s nothing left to say
to do it justice but i love you money til i’m in the grave and that’s something they can never take away
tell emily that n0body is perfect
and i know you know that’s true because you know me
but i’m the wave and your the land
there’s some things you just can’t plan
but trust me you’re stronger than you think

everybody’s gotta stand on their own
i’m not afraid. i feel strong (okay!)
i don’t need you to pick me up
but i might need a friend that i can lean on
i might need a friend that i can lean on
i might need a friend that i can lean on
i might need a friend that i can lean on
i might need a friend that i can lean on

(strange famous!)
