Porridge And Cake

from Fire, Then Rain by The Shape Of The Earth

lyrics

You said save me,
You said save me,
That night on a summer’s eve
When you sold me into slavery,
I calmed my shaking knees
But I Oh, Oh, Oh,
But I just don't know.
Oh oh oh I just don't know.
But I can’t believe,
That this is really happening,
And I do believe
there is something here for me.

So I gave up my namesake
Yeah I sold it for porridge and cake, but I didn't know where to go after that and I saw everything was Live or not.
Oh I do, believe, in such a thing as happiness.
And I do believe, that is has got room for us.

And I saw
In my hands
This weight
Is a cancer
You survive.

But I just don't know.
But I do believe
That I have gotten here with you
And I do believe that I am rather fond of me…
