The Capeby Guy Clark>>>>>>>>>> LISTEN <<<<<<<<<<Eight years old with flour sack cape
Tied all around his neck
He climbed up on the garage
Figurin what the heck
He screwed his courage up so tight
The whole thing come unwound
He got a runnin start and bless his heart
He headed for the ground
Hes one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold you breath Always trust your cape
All grown up with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his dream
Hes full of piss and vinegar
Hes bustin at the seams
He licked his finger and checked the wind
Its gonna be do or die
He wasnt scared of nothin, Boys
He was pretty sure he could fly
Old and grey with a flour sack cape
Tied all around his head
Hes still jumpin off the garage
And will be till hes dead
All these years the people said
Hes actin like a kid
He did not know he could not fly
So he did
Hes one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold you breath Always trust your cape
