Red House Painters - Over My Head

Lyrics:

some odd door
some blooming tree
senseless and awkward
feeling hard uneased
sleep in rooms where people leave
dry of gentleness
of life
of breeze
sometimes you get so alone without a friend
it's hard to know who you are
and to pretend
little lights reaching over my head
shiny sinks to let myself out in
and you won't call to say it's all right
'cause you know it lasts all night
you know you should be at home
where it's good to be tired
under a roof that you know
that we're inside
some odd door
off-white painted sills
faded pictures gathered round me still
and I know what you face in the night
and I know you'll be alright

Great RHP tune. Thank you for posting.

[BassVirtual]

Best song by RHP... awesome solo at the end

[djeboe]

I love this song so much. I love the casual feel it has, and the way it swings despite having some sad lyrics... but it still has a hope to it. And the rambling solo at the end is amazing.

[XPhaededX]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Describes me sometimes.

[djeboe]
