4th of July lyrics
by Aimee Mann
Today's the fourth of julyAnother june has gone byAnd when they light up our town I just thinkWhat a waste of gunpowder and skyI'm certain that I am aloneIn harbouring thoughts of our homeIt's one of my faults that I can't quell my pastI ought to have gotten it goneOh, baby, I wonder -If when you are older -Someday-You'll wake upAnd say, 'my god, I should have told her -What would it take? But now here I am and the world's gotten colderAnd she's got the river down which I sold her.'So that's today's memory laneWith all the pathos and painAnother chapter in a book where the chapters are endlessAnd they're always the sameA verse, then a verse, and refrainOh, baby, I wonder -If when you are older -Someday-You'll wake upAnd say, 'my god, I should have told her -What would it take? But now here I am and the world's gotten colderAnd she's got the river down which I sold her.'
