for those three days

(lyrics by Lucinda Williams)

You say there's always gonna be this thing
Between us days are filled with dreams
Scorpions crawl across my screen
Make their home beneath my skin
Underneath my dress stick their tongues
Bite through the flesh down to the bone
And I have been so fuckin' alone
Since those three days
.
Did you only want me for those three days?
Did you only need me for those three days?
Did you love me forever
just for those three days?
.
You built a nest inside my soul
You rest your head on leaves of gold
You managed to crawl inside my brain
You found a hole and in you came
You sleep like a baby breathing
Comfortably between truth and pain
But the truth is nothing's been the same
Since those three days
.
For those three days

how cool :) well my first cd of hers was "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" and I really like it. I also have "Essence" & "World Without Tears." I would go with the first one. I love her voice & style in that one.

Hi L! Lucinda has just plain 'got it'. My sister got me interested in her a few years ago, so I had to ramp up quickly. I've got the Essence mp3's on my computer so they rotate through the day at times. Her harder songs "Essence" and "Righteously" are some of my favorite songs of all time! I also just like relaxing to her more roots music. Ciao bella!

PS - under your avatar it says "you say i'm a bitch like its a bad thing". Funny! It freaks me out though, because you seem like one of the most compassionate, sincere people out there ;-) oooooh, the irony!
