Correction Lyrics Ivy (Live) by Grace Petrie

Lyrics

It was Glastonbury twenty fourteen
And me and my best friend
We'd had an awesome festival
Then we got a call on Sunday about half-past ten
And it was back to the camp
And it was pack up the tent
And it was saying goodbye to Billy Bragg as we went
And telling our friends that we had somewhere to be
Someone so much more important than all those VIPs
It was your mum on the phone that rerouted us
We got a hug goodbye from Phil Jupitus

And then we drove all night from Glastonbury to meet you home
When you were ready to arrive, Ivy
And I drove until the sun came up to beat you home
All the way up the M5, Ivy
And being early for someone was a first for me
But I thought my heart would burst if you got there before me
And all the way home all I thought was
How I can't wait to tell you this story, Ivy
Thanks for waiting for me

And I can't wait to know the person you'll become
And I can't wait to hear what music that you like
And I can't wait to know the future as you'll make it
Yeah, I wonder if I'll still be behind a mic
And Ivy maybe one day when you're my age
Well maybe I'll be singing from that pyramid stage
That once I drove all night from Glastonbury to meet you home
When you were ready to arrive, Ivy
How I drove until the sun came up to beat you home
All the way up the M5, Ivy
And being early for someone was a first for me
But I thought my heart would burst if you got there before me
And all the way home all I thought was
How I can't wait to tell you this story, Ivy
Thanks for waiting for me

Thanks for waiting for me to arrive
And let me just say thanks for not bringing labour on
Until Sunday night and halfway through Kasabian
Because who the f**k cares about Kasabian?
And thanks for not coming during Dolly Parton

Oh, believe me, Iv', when I say I would have driven
Right up the M5 to be there when you start living
But I must admit that I would be sad departing
'Cause how many times in life do you get to see Dolly Parton live?
Not that many, Iv'

But I drove all night from Glastonbury to meet you home
When you were ready to arrive, Ivy
And I drove until the sun came up to beat you home
All the way up the M5, Ivy
And being early for someone was a first for me
But I thought my heart would burst if you got there before me
And all the way home all I thought was
How I can't wait to tell you this story, Ivy
No, I can't wait to tell you this story, Ivy
Yeah and one day I'll tell you this story, Ivy
Thanks for waiting for me
