(Verse)
|
Back when I was living on the Quarter
|
You had just moved in with Trouble's daughter
|
I was insisting that I loved you better than her
|
All of the crimes that I committed
|
I left them to lie in the sun for a minute
|
I couldn't bear to be a sinner in your sweet name
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And what do you mean by that?
|
Do you mean to break my heart?
|
Do you mean to break my heart in two?
|
|
(Verse)
|
It was down on the cobblestones where I found you
|
Way out on Rampart, by Toulouse.
|
Come on upstairs, I'll tell you my story
|
I'll sing you my song.
|
You know that the cold ground was my bed last night
|
Blanket of clouds, stars for my nightlight.
|
All that I had was a pocketful of prayers and unanswered dreams
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And what do you mean by that?
|
Do you mean to break my heart?
|
Do you mean to break my heart in two?
|
|
(Verse)
|
I'm calling on Dymphna to heal and protect us
|
Remember your sisters down in this world below
|
I been in the trenches and I'm here to tell you
|
It's a hard row to hoe
|
Most of my heroes died in the gutter
|
Johnson and Foster, MacTell and Rurstone
|
I follow them down, and ride with the current that's pushing me home
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And what do you mean by that?
|
Do you mean to break my heart?
|
Do you mean to break my heart in two?
|
