I saw a reflection of a shadow
|
of a woman I once loved
|
There stood my faith, my own
|
reflection, bitterness more often than love
|
So I bought a gun, took a pill, hung a rope
|
to reach my love
|
But I had no bullets, just and aspirin, bitterness
|
more often than love
|
|
I went down to cass,
|
to meet up with my girl
|
I was 2 hours late
|
And 23 months too early
|
believing my girl would leave me so high
|
So high I couldnt reach, well
|
Where my baby lay up in the sky
|
a ??? took upon me as the day went on,
|
she was with another man, stood about 6 foot 3
|
240 pounds, a giant compared to me
|
it was my mouth and his might,
|
it was gonna be a long long day going on.
|
|
By this time it was 12:30
|
And I was passed out on the ground
|
Saw a hand to reach down and help me up
|
She was the prettiest little thing
|
and came to take me home
|
When she asked how old I was I told her 22
|
She told me she was 19 and the day was young
|
So she took me home to her parents house
|
I had no idea why
|
I was going to her parents house
|
but I was a man, making a woman
|
make me a man, making a woman.
|
|
I saw a reflection of a shadow
|
of a woman I once loved
|
There stood my faith, my own
|
reflection, bitterness more often than love
|
So I bought a gun, took a pill, hung a rope
|
to reach my love
|
But I had no bullets, just and aspirin, bitterness
|
more often than love
|
|
Its been about a year and I saw her the other day
|
**the next few lines overlap**
|
Hangin' out down cass and henry
|
hanging like my heart was on a sleeve, on my sleeve
|
my one armed cutie
|
my diamond in the rough
|
The girl who broke my heart
|
my 19 year old dream
|
made me wear my heart on my sleeve
|
the sleeve I wipe my tears with
|
she had my heart, my little diamond, my sapphire in the rough..it was gone, so gone.
|
I'm never, never gonna meet another girl
|
Never ever, never ever
|
And she was gone
|
