History's made it's mark in anger
As everybody knows it's what we do
It's nothing new
The next chords struck are fault and failure
And we both know that finger points on cue
There's blame for two
Do you really want him coming Newo?
Do you really think he's coming back to you?
Oh, Once the world stops spinning, read that writing on the wall
Is there another Newo?
Is there cushion just enough to break my fall
Oh, don't you cry
Just lie there baby in the past, Cause if you want it all right now
Hide your feathers, on the back porch, baby
He's coming home for you've been such a liar
Hide your feathers, Little back porch lady
You're too old enough to cry your sorry eyes out over the world
Hear me scream outside your window
I'm only here to make my peace with you
There's something new
Oh, it was our time, that day in our lives
If I could do things different, what would I choose?
Oh, why would you cry, Mama
Please, don't cry Mama
Oh, don't you cry, no, no
Right now! hide your feathers on the back porch, baby
He's coming home for you've been such a liar
Hide your feathers, little back porch lady
You're too old enough to cry your sorry eyes out over the world
No other could wait for a lover to embrace, boy
When there's no more room for love,
You'll sail her off to the shores
No other, would wait for a lover
To embrace, boy, when there's no more room for love,
You'll sail her off to the shores
Right now! hide your feathers on the back porch, baby
He's coming home for you've been such a liar
Right now! hide your feathers on the back porch, baby
He's coming home for you've been such a liar
Hide your feathers, little back porch lady
To open up to cry your sorry eyes out
Wait a minute, little back porch lady
Wait a minute, little back porch lady (I'm in love)
Wait a minute, little back porch lady
Why won't you cry, Mama
Why would you cry, no, no
Wait a minute, little back porch lady
Wait a minute, little back porch lady (I'm in love)
Wait a minute, little back porch lady
Why won't you cry, Mama
Why would you cry, no, no
