Georgia Clay Songtext
von Peter Himmelman

Sticks and stones, blood and bones
In the falling light
The hornbeams shed their leaves
As the dusk gives way to night
Gravity is pulling on me
Like a ball and chain
The thunder clouds are funeral shrouds
And they ain′t giving up no rain

So look upon me with mercy
I have lost my way
Look upon me with mercy
I traded diamonds for a lump of Georgia clay


Damn ambition, it's a young man′s game
I'm fueled by another thing now
But I do not know its name
I feel yanked along, propelled by an unseen force
Mostly dodging bullets and trying to stay on course

So look upon me with mercy
I have lost my way
Look upon me with mercy
I traded diamonds for a lump of Georgia clay

Tried to call your number, but my battery's dead
I was gonna drop you a line
But it′s all better left unsaid
After all, if I made that call
How could I explain
The vaguest of sensations
Just playing on the edge of my brain?

So look upon me with mercy
I have lost my way
Look upon me with mercy
I traded diamonds for a lump of Georgia clay
