Lyrics Ray LaMontagne

Ray LaMontagne

Hannah

I lost all of my vanity

When I peered into the pool

I lost all of my innocence

When I fell in love with you

I never knew a man fall so far

Until' I landed here

Where all of my wounds that turn into gold

When I kissed your hair

Come to me Hannah

Hannah won't you to come on to me?

And I'll lay down this bottle of wine

If you'll just be kind to me

Ask her why she cries so loud?

She will not say a word

Eyes like ice and hands that shake

She takes what she deserves

To celebrate her emptiness

In a cold and lonely room

Sweep the floor with your long flowered dress

If you cannot find a broom

Come to me Hannah

Hannah won't you come on to me?

That I'll lay down this bottle of wine

If you'll just be kind to me

She's got hair that flows right down

Right down to the backs of her knees

Her papa he was a preachin' man

And the Lord is hard to please

So she comes down from the Ozark hills

To these very streets to roam

With a banjo and a Bible

And a fine tooth comb

Come to me Hannah

Hannah won't you come on to me?

That I'll lay down this bottle of wine

If you'll just be kind to me

I'd walk one mile on this broken glass

To fall down at your feet

Oh Hannah you're the queen of the street

I climb the tree with my Hannah Lee

My intentions they were pure

Oh the breeze did whip and I lost my grip

I tumbled towards the earth

Where you never would guess who it was that stood below

His name I would never tell

But his eyes were clear and his arms were strong

And caught me as I fell

Now come to me Hannah

Hannah won't you come on to me?

And I'll lay down this bottle of wine

If you'd just be kind to me

I'd walk one mile on just broken glass

To fall down at your feet

Hannah you're the queen of the street

The queen of the street
