The Sound of Jesus Humming

from Nashville Magic by Maynard and the Musties

/

about

It's about young love and pop music. When I wrote it, and when we recorded it, both of the referenced pop stars were alive and well...

lyrics

a breeze sang through my hair, I turned my head & love was standing there
you were mine before I knew it, before I even knew your name
we walked around together in a city strange and foreign
listening to bowie on a shared walkman while we rummaged through the market

And I did, I did, I did, love you, I did love you.


we made fun of leonard cohen cuz we didn’t know what love was
tho we fell in love like magic, never knowing what what we were hummin’
never went down to the river, just holed-up in your bedroom
when the window flew open, a thousand wings were flappin’

And I did, I did, I did, love you, I did love you.

(solo)

she’s hidden in the hallway like a secret stash of money
she holds all the beauty of a love that lost it’s boundaries
she cries like a fiddle, she laughs when someone’s coming
you fill every corner with the sound of Jesus humming

And I did, I did, I did, love you, I did love you.
And I did, I did, I did, love you, I did love you.
