Marissa Nadler - Mistress lyrics

rate me

Sometimes you bring me flowers

a misery to me

and I don't want to like a day

without my memory

goodbye Missouri

letters on the line

come here now

you know I won't desert you

it's been four years of

waiting for the day

that you would leave your

girl and take me somewhere away

summertime was lost

and i knew it on the spot

I would marry you some sunny day

But baby i know its strange

to end up this way

a mistress on a sunny day

1000 bottles of why

and the days of rum

turn to years of swine

I'm leaving you for good this time

dreams and scars and letters on the line
