Jolie Holland - Sascha lyrics

rate me

Tonight, my heart is full of a sad song

My lonesome lover has taken off

I'm wandering around on a cloud

Empty-hearted and down and out

It's been a week, I think, since he rolled into town

And it's been years that I've heard these stories about

This fellah he's so brave and so alive

Turning this world around from the out to the inside

Well, our courtship was brief and magnetic

I was singing at the corner bar

And we both felt so romantic

We took a walk with the moon

Down to the train yard

Well, it was too much for me

My gypsy heart was inflamed

Put me at the head of your list

And don't forget to call my name

Well, I fell in love with a boy

Who has a real live romance with a train

Oh, my beautiful lover and friend

This is exactly what I wanted

And now I'm feeling so haunted

And I can't get you out of my mind

I can't forget him as he's rolling away

And it's all I can do is just to stay here

Is just to stay
