A SONG FOR YOU

GRAM PARSONS

SONGWRITER: GRAM PARSONS

COUNTRY: USA

ALBUM: GP

LABEL: REPRISE RECORDS

GENRE: COUNTRY ROCK

YEAR: 1973

GP is American singer-songwriter Gram Parsons' debut solo album. It was originally released in a gatefold sleeve in 1973. GP received critical acclaim upon release, but failed to reach the Billboard charts. In the original Rolling Stone review, which individually covered both GP and its follow-up, Grievous Angel, the reviewer praises Gram's vocals and delivery paraphrasing Gram's lyrics, "boy, but he sure can sing".

Oh my land is like a wild goose

Wanders all around everywhere

Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose

It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails

So take me down to your dance floor

And I won’t mind the people when they stare

Paint a different color on your front door

And tomorrow we will still be there

Jesus built a ship to sing a song to

It sails the rivers and it sails the tide

Some of my friends don't know who they belong to

Some can't get a single thing to work inside

So take me down to your dance floor

And I won’t mind the people when they stare

Paint a different color on your front door

And tomorrow we will still be there

I loved you every day and now I'm leaving

And I can see the sorrow in your eyes

I hope you know a lot more than you're believing

Just so the sun don't hurt or when you cry

So take me down to your dance floor

And I won’t mind the people when they stare

Paint a different color on your front door

And tomorrow we will still be there

And tomorrow we will still be there
