read 'em 'n' weep - ian hunter lyrics
hunter
on a warm summer day, at the hour of my youth
i walked the four miles to your door
you wore a straw hat, high heels to match
and the whitest cotton dress i ever saw
when i tried to hold you, you turned away
you don’t have to tell me, it’s all over your face
i can see the writing on the wall
and there’s a distance in your eyes that says it all
read it and weep, i can’t get no sleep
’cause i know you won’t change your mind tomorrow
i’m sinking under and i don’t wanna lose you
this emptiness is more than i can handle
you gave me no reason but you gave me a rhyme
i put the words to music and i was out of my mind
all i’ve got’s the letters that i keep
and sometimes just before i go to sleep
i read ’em and weep, you swept me off of my feet
now i know, time’s the only healer
this jealousy hurts, the thought of seeing you with someone else
cuts like a knife into the heart of me
life is a river, it twists and it turns
but i’ll get over you, babe, i’ll live and i’ll learn
the paper’s full of january sales
i guess i won’t be buying fairytales
read ’em and weep, cryin’ in my sleep
’cause i know i’m gonna be alone tomorrow
and i walked the four miles, yeah, i walked the four miles
in tears and sorrow
this was the story, here’s where it ends
next time i’ll be wiser, won’t get let down again
i wanted you so badly but i failed
now all i got’s these little paper trails
read ’em and weep, read ’em and weep
oh yeah, de de de
read ’em and weep, read ’em and weep
ah, ha
i wanted you so badly but i failed
now all i got’s these little paper trails, ah
