She Was Only In It For The Rain
she swore out the lights when she said that she was
only in it for the rain / she made of her bed a naive
nativity / just in case it became - just in case / here's
the 1st of many songs you wanted me to write / just
for you I hope to god you like it / it's as pretty as it
is cruel / it's as pretty as it is cruel / she swore out
the
lights when she dammed herself to sleep / her thirteenth
finger my whiskey drink / and she wept at the scene as
the ambulance drove off / come circumference, come
circumstance / here's the 1st of many songs you wanted
me to write / just for you I hope to god you like it
and it may seem pretty cruel but mercy is not my name
and our kids I hope to god you counted them
you're as pretty as you are cruel
you're as pretty as you are cruel
you're as pretty as you are cruel
