Village Affairs ft. Eliann Tulve Lyrics

Once upon a time

In a dirty old village

Lying on a pile in a vacant building

We bruised our minds and talked about the future

From farmer's sons to corner bums

Redemption

And we'd just be

I would ride my bike to your place on Sundays

And we'd just be

And we'd just be

And we'd just be

Once upon a time

In that same old village

A boy got out of line with a girl from the city

They cruised around and talked about the future

As sawmill cried and motor stopped to function

So they'd just be

She was way too bright

For the boy I must say

Yet he would trade his life for her

So they'd just be

Oh they'd just be

Once upon a time

I was begging for your mercy

Sittin' on a side of an offshoot river

I broke the stick and nearly died

Drowning

A friend was there

From certain death

He saved me

So we'd just be

We'd just be

We'd just be
