The Starlings: Music & Lyrics

First time I saw her, she said to me
I need a glass of water for my sorrows
Last time I saw her, she said to me
The devil’s in every dollar I know
And I work so I may soon leave

Lord take me back
Lord take me back
Lord take me back to the land

We’re all keen on a far away place
Where cool mountain waters can wash away the taste
Of the bitterest city in all of its haste
That’s where you sell yourself to buy your little place if you can

I feel like I’ve departed
From the very place where a peace inside me grows
I feel so broken-hearted
I can’t make a living off the land that makes me whole

First time I saw her, she said to me
I need a glass of water for my sorrows
