Maggie Said

(앨범: Natalie Merchant - 2014)

Maggie said
Dig one more shallow grave before I'm dead
Maggie said
I'm just looking for a place that I can lay my weary head
There's no perfect end
Just time to leave

Maggie said
They wreck the table at the game of love
Maggie said
It's just stupid luck if you rise above
Everybody's second in death
Win or lose, my friend
It's so hard to leave

Holding back
What did I get for all of that?
What did it count for?
Tell me that
Nothing
Nothing
Oh, nothing, that's a fact

Maggie said
It's so hard to find the Golden Fleece to spin my golden thread
Maggie said
You're preaching to the choir, girl, now
You're not sticking out your neck
There's no risk in that
Darling, please

Holding back
What did I get for all of that?
What did it count for?
Tell me that
Tell me that
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing, that's a fact

Maggie said
Don't let them take that halo from your head
Maggie said
I can see you're turning hard now, girl
Don't lose your tenderness
What's the use in that?
Darling, please

Holding back
What did I get for all of that?
What did it count for?
Tell me that
Count for?
Tell me that
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Oh, nothing, that's a fact
