"A Song For A Lover Of Long Ago" lyrics - JUSTIN VERNON

JUSTIN VERNON
"A Song For A Lover Of Long Ago"

Rain on the bar
Clinging watermark
And it hints at what I had
And calls up what I can't

Wring you out of me
Shake the memory free
Can't squash them open sores
Can't chase away the hole

[Chorus:]
I have buried you
In every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands

Ring, sound the alarm
The sting, my broken arm
The faintest violinist buried in my gut
There are chances and choices
Sometimes you just have to cut

[Chorus:]
I have buried you
In every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands

[Chorus:]
I have buried you
In my shaking hands
You keep ending up
Every place I've been

[Chorus:]
I have buried you
Every place I've been
You keep ending up
In my shaking hands

[Chorus:]
You keep ending up
In every place I've been
In my shaking hands
Every place I've been
