Paroles de For Betty

I worked on the river
from 9 until 9
you would wait by the shoreline
and pray for my life.

I said, "someday we'll escape
from this sad little town
and run free like young children
who would never be found."

Ahhh...ahhhh
Run through the rain
I can't see you anywhere
Howl at the fading sun
What is real? Where is hope/home?

When you moved to the north of
the home where we kept
old boxes and sadness
our bones and our breath.
I said, "maybe we're happy,
in this said little town,
where our lips part for anger,
and our hearts make no sound."

Ahhh... ahh When I'm finally dying
and I'm nervous when I stay
And I'm caught in the dawn.
Haven't I seen you?
Forgotten and buried

I stayed in the river
and you walked from the shore
to the edge of the city
through the vast unexplored
I screamed, "Don't leave me stranded,
in this sad little town!"
But, my voice was a whisper
that would never be found.
Never be found.
