Brought Me

(앨범: A Cat In The Rain - 2023)

Well I have loved you for so long
I have no memory of falling
So long now, it feels that we
Have never been apart
I hear you have a world away
You know for whom you're calling
I'd have said this years ago
If I'd known where to start

Whoa now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing there at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I forgot who brought me

You've torn the place asunder
And you've left the party early
Looked at me with tears
As if a lost and lonely child
Your status suits you well
But do not think that you can fool me
This polish and reserve
Barely hides that you are wild

And we've echoed off of barroom walls
And buildings down on Main Street
Thought the moon would never set on
Our back alley room
In moments I found quality
I thought could not be beaten
A thousand person choir
Has an affection all its own

Oh now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing there at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I forgot who brought me

You kissed me in the parking lot
I gave you nothing clever
Damages and injuries
Were far beyond repair
Submitted to the shape of things
This time it was forever
At an old barroom in Tulsa
I looked up and you were there

Oh now, it still beats steady
This heart I handed you for free
Should you ever need a thing
It won't be hard to find me
Standing there at the ready
With a dance or two still left in me
Wager that it won't appear
That I forgot who brought me
