Florence

I saw Florence sing tonight Her earrings hanging in the light Days before that old July I saw a silence in her eyes And I know heaven's here tonight I know heaven's here tonight, I know She graced the stage with sweet arrest And paused to smoke her cigarettes Sang of love and she sang of friends She sang of how the winter ends And I know heaven's here tonight I know heaven's here tonight, I know She looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Says, "Oh, you'd have to be a man to know" I've seen them laugh and I've seen them cry But I still can't figure out this life Oh, I'd have to be a man to know Her voice it pulls and runs tonight Reminds of a love once mine Dumb and sweet untampered nights Drinking all your parents' wine And I would take off all her clothes I would take off all her clothes again Florence sings, I escape a while From feeling lost and broken wide Funny how you think you'd find The answers no one ever finds Guess I am just a fickle child I'm just a fickle child still She looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Says, "Oh, you'd have to be a man to know" I've seen them bleed and I've seen them smile But I still can't figure out this life Oh, I'd have to be a man to know Oh, she looks at you straight in the eye And with a warm and wise goodbye Said, "Oh, you'd have to be a man to know" Dream all you want of a simpler time But this ain't 1965 And, oh, you'd have to be a man to know Oh, you'd have to be a man to know Oh, you'd have to be a man to know I saw Florence sing tonight Her earrings hanging in the light Days before that old July I saw a silence in her eyes And I know heaven's here tonight I know heaven's here tonight, I know
