Jolie Holland

Sascha

Tonight, my heart is full of a sad song

My lonesome lover has taken off

I'm wanderin' around on a cloud

Empty-hearted and down and out

It's been a week, I think, since he rolled into town

And it's been years that I've heard these stories about

This fellow, he's so brave and so alive

Turnin' this world around from the out to the inside

Well, our courtship was brief and magnetic

I was singin' at the corner bar

And we both felt so romantic

We took a walk with the moon down to the train yard

Well, it was too much for me

My gypsy heart was inflamed

Put me at the head of your list

And don't forget to call my name

Well, I've fell in love with a boy

Who has a real live romance with a train, oh

Oh, my beautiful lover and friend

This is exactly what I wanted

And now I'm feelin' so haunted

And I can't get you out of my mind, oh

I can't forget him as he's rollin' away

And it's all I can do is just to stay here

Is just to stay
