Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Don't Worry Desmond Dekker Lyrics

Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Medium Rare
Don't Worry Desmond Dekker
What happened up on Hemmingway
Well. we will never change
You used to be a friend of mine
The last 5 years went past so fast
So fast I find it strange
The beneficial medicine of time

And I
I can hear your laughter
It stays with me after
All this time
And I
I still got your records
Clash and The Selecter
And don’t worry Desmond Dekker's doing fine.

But doors were shut
The lines were cut
The walls went up so quick
The windows of opportunity were small
Brides collide
Divides were wide
Sides we had to pick
And oh yeah, I forgot to call

I
I can hear your laughter
It stays with me after
All this time
And I
I still got your records
Clash and The Selecter
And don’t worry Desmond Dekker's doing fine.

Seeds to the roots to the trunk to the truth
It’s understanding when it first began
In the day up to the sky
And we climbed up so high
And we carried on the only way we can
Laugh on and live
Learn how to forgive
What we have could be as good as what we get
If you forgot
Now I am still gone
What you gave to me way back when we first met
What you gave to me way back when we first met

I
I can hear your laughter
It stays with me after
All this time
And I
I still got your records
Clash and The Selecter
And don’t worry Desmond Dekker's doing
fine

I
I still got your records
Clash and The Selecter
and don’t worry Desmond Dekker's doing fine.
