a history of lovers - calexico & iron & wine lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
louise only got from me innocent poetry
although she played to not listen
but still i can hear myself speak as if no one else
ever could offer the same

some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
although so foolish and willing
i said, “babe, i can picture you bend as if wanting to
bow as the curtain goes down”

[chorus]
coddle some men, they’ll remember you bitterly
f-ck ’em, they’ll come back for more
i asked my louise, would she leave and so, cripple me
then came a knock at the door

[verse 2]
i came for my woman, he came with a razor blade
bound like us all for the ocean
i hope that she’s happy, i’m blamed for the death
of a man who would take her from me

some say they saw in me innocent poetry
some say they’ll never be certain
but still it’s been written, a history of lovers
in giving, and taking, and ink

[chorus]
coddle some men, they’ll remember you fittingly
cut ’em, they’ll come back for more
i asked my louise, would she leave and so, cripple me
then came the knock at the door

[verse 3]
louise came to rescue me, missing the irony
blood made her heart change its beating
i hope that she’s happy, i’m blamed for the death of a man
she found better than me
