Lyrics

Lorraine

Well, I saw you just the other night at the bar down on the corner
In the corner you were singin’ like a bird uncaged
And I thought I heard something I never heard, I never heard before
In all the little wars we waged

Well, I know it will occur to you there’s somethin’ I just couldn’t see
Your neon eyes got in the way
And all the stories I could tell and all the flesh that I could sell
Could never pay your lovin’ wage

Lorraine, cry me a sea ‘cause you know
You’ve got me bad this time
And you’re gone, gone daddy gone
And that big blue sky can’t cover you now

Well, lately I been tryin’ to remember, and remember I will
Soon as I get this fever off of my mind
But it seems to me there was a time when I was yours and you were mine
Well seek and you shall find

Lorraine, cry me a sea ‘cause you know
You’ve got me bad this time
And you’re gone, gone daddy gone
And that big blue sky can’t cover you now

And you know, I think it’s starting to show
That you can never let go when you’ve got nothin’ to hold

Well I won’t keep you up, no I can’t keep up and anyway
Bridges burn, but let me warn you
Schemers and bad men like dreamers and mad men
Wait for you each corner you turn

Lorraine, cry me a sea ‘cause you know
You’ve got me bad this time
And you’re gone, gone daddy gone
And that big blue sky can’t cover you now
