Stay strong, wait for me
Just hold on, I won’t be away long
I’ll be back before you wake
And she kissed me, but I swear to you
She tricked me, and made me feel less ugly
And war was slaughterin’ her love
While the bombs were breakin’ us up
I’ve got letters, purple holy rollers
Suicidal notebooks, and a woman who can sing
And she leaves on railroad tracks and airplanes
And doesn’t send me postcards
To tell me where she’s been
Whilе the noose is tightenin’
And еvery night, I’ve been humming those songs
I go to bed with the bedroom lights on
And in the morning, you call out the name
I turned to you, and the day gets dark and
Hm ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
