lyrics

unkind

i know the best years of my life are ahead / you don’t have to tell me again and again / the paint’s peeling off of my sweet, smiling face / and someday soon all sweetness will be erased

i met you in Texas, i left you in Rome / i held your hand through an Irish storm / i know i’ve been unkind to you / but i can’t say this chapter is through

my youth, it keeps me cold

i’ve married another and bore him a son / and now i run through the world trying to be made undone / i just want for someone to swallow me whole / and then i’ll rise up and ride on a chariot

i’m crazy, don’t you know? / i fed the horses cardboard & coal / now i’m saving up my soul / to barter later so i can get back home

i loved you in Texas, i hated you in Rome / i tried so hard to care in an Irish storm / i know i’ll never be kind to you / so i best be going - you take care of you
