Dolores

(album: The Wandering Hearts - 2021)

They remember the girl in the tracksuit
The moment she blew them away
And nobody saw the train wreck
If they had, would it have ended the same?

Oh, Dolores, they're here again
Run the water, shut out the day
Everyone's fighting a battle you know nothing about
Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain, swallow the pain

Your mother came out to New York to get you
Saying, "Come back to your old little room
You look tired of trying to hold it together
And it was all too much, too soon"

Oh, Dolores, they're here again
Run the water, shut out the day
Everyone's fighting a battle you know nothing about
Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain, swallow the pain

You were found in your favourite pyjamas
Up there on the fourteenth floor
And nobody saw it coming
But you did all those years before

Oh, Dolores, they're here again
Run the water, shut out the day
Everyone's fighting a battle you know nothing about
Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain, swallow the pain
Oh, Dolores, they're singing your name
You tried to warn us but now it's too late
Everyone's fighting a battle you know nothing about
Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain
Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain
Oh, Dolores, swallow the pain
Oh, Dolores
