Ballad of Paul and Sheila - Mason Jennings

October morning, little plane on the forest floor

Up on the tv between a rerun and another war

Here in a hotel, trying to make some sense of this

Two thousand miles from my family in minneapolis

Hey senator, i wanna say

All the things you fought for did not die here today

Hey senator, i’m gonna do

All the things i can to live my life more like you lived

A story of a love undivided for thirty-nine years

Strong when it counted through the hard times and the fears

Together forever, that was always what it was about

No hesitation, there was never any doubt

Hey hey sheila, i want to say

All the things you fought for did not die here today

Hey hey sheila, i’m gonna do

All the things i can to live my life more like you

Hey senator, i wanna say

All the things you fought for did not die here today

Hey hey sheila, i’m gonna do

All the things i can to live my life more like you
