The Writer

I won’t forget you, I won’t forget you
I’m not allowed to, I’m not allowed to
Your name is heavy on my voice
I only see you, I only see you
When I am sleeping, when I am sleeping
You set my dreams on fire, and I do not have a choice
(1, 2, 3, 4) You’d make an ashtray, you’d make an ashtray
(1, 2, 3, 4) Out of a garden, out of a garden
(1, 2, 3, 4) To smoke the beauty
(1, 2, 3, 4) Of the earth
(1, 2, 3, 4) Don’t be a baby, don’t be a baby
(1, 2, 3, 4) I’m not your guardian, I’m not your guardian
(1, 2, 3, 4) I’ll pull you close, and then I wanna hit you where it hurts
Funny, on the ride of it, I’d never had a single word
A single word, a single word for you
Funny, on the ride of it, I’d never had a single word
A single word, a single word for you
And when I’ve tried, I’ve tried to embrace you
The babe, the curse, they bleed me out
And when I’ve cried, I’ve cried for my mother
The greys, the phase, the sleeve of doubt
Funny, on the ride of it, I’d never had a single word
A single word, a single word for you
Funny, on the ride of it, I’d never had a single word
A single word, a single word for you
I won’t forget you, I won’t forget you
I’m not allowed to, I’m not allowed to
Your name is heavy on my voice
