Chimney Sweeping Man Lyrics - Singles - Laura Veirs

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a chimney sweeping man 

You see the black lines 

On the backs, on the backs of my hands 

I planted all the gardens 

I sent off all the hand-typed letters to the empty shells on high 

How I want to make things better, I want to make things better 

Maybe you thought I'd be president 

With my Cheshire grin, high I.Q. 

And charming baby blues 

Well, I'm a lowland forest resident 

With lime in the outhouse 

And black grime for tattoos

I try to make things better 

I try to make things mine 

I write a lot of letters to pass the time 

I pulled three hundred rocks 

From the land to build my house 

I walk quiet through the forest like a tiny quiet forest mouse 

'Cause I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a chimney sweeping man 

You see the black lines 

In the backs, on the backs of my hands 

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a chimney sweeping man 

You see the black lines 

On the backs, on the backs of my hands 

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a chimney sweeping man 

You see the black lines 

On the backs, on the backs of my hands

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a chimney sweeping man 

You see the black lines 

On the backs, on the backs of my hands 

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a chimney sweeping man 

You see the black lines 

On the backs, on the backs of my hands
