Minor difficulties

I wasn't worried
I wasn't waiting like I said I would
What could you sell me
That I don't already have

I got
Someone to be you
Someone to be me
It'll do for now

I take the doorstop
And stop the bleeding
Just to let you in

And if I promise
Does that justify the rain
I think we've done what we can
I think we've did what we could
And if the cradle won't burn
We'll make the cradle of wood
We'll make the cradle of wood

Last I was told
Last I heard she was so in love
Went down the bird
She got plenty of pecking
But nothing would fly
She never really had my my

My my my my my god
How could this happen to me
All these minor difficulties

And if I promise
Does it justify the rain
I think we've done what we can
I think we did what we could
And if the cradle won't burn
We'll make the cradle of wood
We'll make the cradle of wood

Well I shouldn't go okay
I shouldn't go okay
Surely once was enough
Do you remember
I pushed you away
Yes I pushed you away
Arms outstretched
And palms facing me
All these minor difficulties

And if I promise
Does it justify the rain
I think we've done what we can
I think we did what we could
And if the cradle won't burn
We'll make the cradle of wood
We'll make the cradle of wood

He didn't mean
Didn't mean to shoot the elephant
He didn't mean
Didn't mean to shoot the elephant
