Colette

(album: Langhorne Slim - 2008)

All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend
You came along just then
You gave me crazy love and you whispered
"You've got a bottle and nobody that you're missing"

I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
You said, "Don't get excited but take cover"
We stepped into the light, took pictures of each other
Some were in black and white, the others were in color

Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and leapt into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you'd said
"We're wrestling with death"
Well, it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do

You'd go to my head

I guess it was something you'd said
"We're wrestling with death"
Well, it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do

Here she comes
Here she comes
Oh, here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes

Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
We took a breath and leapt into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you'd said
"We're wrestling with death"
Now, it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
