lyrics

I took so much medicine to see you tonight.
Gonna be a few days before my gut gets right,
but I don't mind if you stay the night.
And I'll try not to mind
if you only say you'll stay the night.

Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh.

But there's perfume between my fingers
all my scrubbing won't remove,
and the ways I once won your heart
are now just arguments I lose.
So, if I seem distracted while you're telling me about
all of the arms falling around you,
I've just no shits to give now,

even though you taught me to spot satellites
(you'd seen them from the sea
when you were circling the earth
to prepare, perhaps, to flee
when your faith collapses on itself --
the light of love gone out
and the mouth of God sewn silent
like your beauty shut my mouth).

Ah-ooh.
Ah-ooh.

Well, here she is in white sheets. Cold.
A buckled willow branch.
We carry her to teach absence
to creatures of the ranch.
And there she is, a ring of candlelight around her head.
And there she was, a speck of dust
that barely filled the bed.

And we think of her not ever if we want to go to sleep,
or we say that we don't think of her,
but we know what we mean.
We think of her not ever if we want to go to sleep,
or we say that we don't think of her,
but we know what we mean.
And we think of her not ever if we want to go to sleep,
or we say we don't think of her,
but we know what we mean.
And we think of her not ever if we want to go to sleep,
but I need more than shut-eye to survive these memories.

Ah-ooh.
Ah-ooh.
