"Cigarette Curls" lyrics

"Cigarette Curls"

There she stood
Her cigarette curls
A laugh that comes right out of the earth
And I swear
In them strawberry fields
When it got real
So easily
Time
Caught up with me
Eventually
Time came true

There she stood
Her cigarette curls
The curve beneath the crop of her shirt
And I swear
In an instant
Time grew distant
Time moved so slow

And I did what I knew I would do
I did everything I told you not to
I was running, I was afraid, I was afraid
I was afraid

All
All is lost now
All goes wrong now
So easily

There
She stands
Her cigarette curls
A laugh that comes right out of the dirt
And I swear
In an instant
Time grew distant
Time moves faster than the pain
I always thought I'd see your face again
Always thought I'd see your face again

And I did what I knew I would do
I did everything I told you not to
I was running, I was alone, I was alone
I was alone

But I did what I knew I would do
I did everything I said I wouldn't do
I was running, I was afraid, I was afraid
Yeah, I got afraid
Yeah, I got afraid
I was afraid
