מילים לשיר I Was Meant For The Stage – Decemberists

I was meant for the stage
of this much I am certain
I was meant for the curtain
I was meant to tread these boards
I was meant for the crowd I was meant to raise these hands with quiet all about me
I was meant for the shouting
Oh, whoa. Mother please be proud
Oh, whoa.
Father be forgiving
Even though you told me: 'Son you'll never make a living.' And from the floor boards to the flys
Was there ever any doubt?
Here I was fitted to reside
And as I take my final bow
And as the spotlights fade away
And you're escorted through the foyer
But I was meant for the stage
You will resume your callow ways
The heavens at my birth Intended me for stardom
Rays of light shine down on me and all my sins were pardoned
I was meant for applause I was meant for derision Nothing short of faded self had affected my decision
Oh, whoa.
Here I was fitted to reside
From the floorboards to the flys
And as I take my final bow
Was there ever any doubt?
and you're escorted through the foyer You will resume your callow ways
But I was meant for the stageAnd as the spotlights fade away.
