Metric - The Governess lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Who did u say u were? I didn't catch ur name

Fallin' down to earth down from a higher plane

Oh, it's been decades say, what did u see?

Oh, I've been so lonely won't u keep me company?

Do u remember me? We met out on the farm

By the fire, u spoke to me and held me in ur arms

The songs u played for me I long to understand

All along the watchtower & castles made of sand

(Chorus)

When there was a wilderness, we wandered wild and free

Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief

What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity

Gatherin' the garbage washed up on the beach?

(Verse 2)

Do u remember me? We spoke by telephone

The bad connection had a meanin' of its own

Of all the good and all the stupid shit I've done

The worst was all for me, not hurtin' anyone

(Chorus)
