Mistress

Sometimes you bring me flowers

A misery, it seems to me

I don't want to live a day without you

Haunting my memory

Goodbye misery

Letters on the line

Goodbye misery

Letters on the line

Come in now, you know I won't desert you

It's been four years of waiting for the day

That you would leave your girl

And take me somewhere away

Summertime is hard and I knew it on the spot

I would marry you some sunny day

But baby, I know it's strange to end up this way

A mistress on a sunny day

One thousand bottles of why

And the days of rum turn to years of swine

I'm leaving you for good this time

Dreams and scars and letters on the line

Goodbye misery

Letters on the line

Summertime is hard and I knew it on the spot

I would marry you some sunny day

Baby, I know it's strange to end up this way

A mistress on a sunny day

Goodbye misery

Letters on the line

Goodbye misery

Letters on the line
