Lady Blue

I can explain why I cannot give my heart back

I left it with my Lady Blue

What was her name? She flew in, I caught her

I was a fool to let her go

She goes, shes goes with her hollow bones she goes

Every year she's back for the season

I have to keep my windows closed

I couldn't shake what my mother warned me of

Try to keep me safe between the pews

I stepped away, saw that love was outside

She wore a name, just a different one

They all say I'm sorry boy, you shouldn't fly with her kind

They found a way out of God's love

She goes, she goes with her hollow bones

Keepin' it pretty is gettin' pretty old

Keepin' it pretty is gettin' pretty old, it's gettin' pretty old

Round and round we go, we go around

Round and round we go, she won't stay dead, stay down

There's an awful lot of holes I gotta dig

When I know you're gonna climb back up again

Stay dead, stay down, stay dead, stay down

Stay across the sea but I know where you'll be

When I look around and round we go, we go around

Round and round we go, she won't stay dead, stay down

Lady, you're a lure, dancin' on the bar, oh you know you are

You call em' to the door, hook em' in the jaw just for tonight, right?

But maybe when you're bored with the easy caught

And when I can't afford another empty touch

Maybe then we'll board our ships with a couple crashing hearts

Round and round we go, we go around

Round and round we go, she won't stay dead, stay down

Round and round we go, we go around

Round and round we go

She won't get out of my head, stay in the ground

She won't get out of my head, stay in the ground

She won't stay dead, she won't stay down

She won't stay dead, she won't stay down

She won't stay dead, she won't stay down

She won't stay
