"Katy Song" lyrics
(originally by Red House Painters)
Some escape, some door to open
This path seems the blackest but I guess it's the sanest
But there in the clearing, I know you'll be wearing
Your young aching smile and waving your hands
Can't go with my heart when I can't feel what's in it
I thought you'd come over but for some reason you didn't
Glass on the pavement under my shoe
Without you is all my life amounts to
A final sleep, no words from my cutting
Mouth to your ear or taut, wicked pinches
From my fingers to your bitter face
That I can't heal
I know tomorrow you will be somewhere in London
Living with someone
You've got some kind of family there to turn to
And that's more than I could ever give you
(Sung Simultaneously)
A chance for calm, a hope for freedom
Outlet from my cold, solitary kingdom
By the forest of our spring stay
Where you walked away
And left a bleeding part of me
Empty and bothered, watching the water
Quiet in the corner, numb and falling through
Without you what does my life amount to?
This path seems the blackest but I guess it's the sanest
But there in the clearing, I know you'll be wearing
Your young aching smile and waving your hands
Can't go with my heart when I can't feel what's in it
I thought you'd come over but for some reason you didn't
Glass on the pavement under my shoe
Without you is all my life amounts to
A final sleep, no words from my cutting
Mouth to your ear or taut, wicked pinches
From my fingers to your bitter face
That I can't heal
I know tomorrow you will be somewhere in London
Living with someone
You've got some kind of family there to turn to
And that's more than I could ever give you
(Sung Simultaneously)
A chance for calm, a hope for freedom
Outlet from my cold, solitary kingdom
By the forest of our spring stay
Where you walked away
And left a bleeding part of me
Empty and bothered, watching the water
Quiet in the corner, numb and falling through
Without you what does my life amount to?
