Okkervil River - Kathy Keller lyrics
Kathy Keller's only daughter,
I've been bad, but I'm getting better.
I seen you dancing with another man
And he was holding your hand,
But all dances must rest,
Nothing lasts forever.
Cynthia Anne, so give me chances,
I will prove to you that romance is
Something that doesn't have to make you
Feel sick after, feel all cheated,
Over and over remember what he did.
I did it all, but now I'm really better.
I would like to prove to you
I have no appetite to do
The things I did then
And won't do again.
On my own, I'm all alone,
I try to make my affections known,
They won't stop talking
About what I did twenty years ago.
That bright kitchen, that old cleaver,
The spots of blood, the fallen phone reciever,Okkervil River - Kathy Keller - http://motolyrics.com/okkervil-river/kathy-keller-lyrics.html
Don't you get tired of seeing those pictures?
That was me, but now I'm different.
I did all that, but now I'm really better.
I would like to prove to you
I have no appetite to do
The things I did then
And won't do again.
On my own, I'm all alone,
I try to make my affections known,
But the evil's passed
From one hand to another.
Cynthia Keller in the cellar,
Don't tell me you didn't get my letters.
I try to tell you, make you see
That after all they did to me,
How I could I do that? All I can do now
Is stay at home and watch T.V.
You're all I have, don't make me go,
Don't throw me away, don't leave me alone.
I can't be alone now that I'm all better.
I'm your slave, just
Don't leave me alone with my being better.
