chambermaid - suzanne vega lyrics

Loading...

i’m the great man’s chambermaid
i’ve seen where his hallowed head is laid
i revere the places he has stayed
and clean crumbs from his typewriter

he is good to me
there’s nothing he doesn’t see
and he knows where l’d like to be
but it doesn’t matter
mhmm

on my day off i haunt the docks
keep to myself, i go for walks
i just make sure that lock still locks
as my ship is coming in

my mind and hands they are my trade
i finger sentences hе’s made
i follow every curving of his brain
mhmm

[chorus]
you want to know, did i еver steal?
he never leaves anything out that’s real
i took nothing he would miss
but only once i stole a kiss
i used to pretend that i was queen
but over time i quit that scene
costs too much to even dream in that direction

i think of comfort and of peace
i long for pleasure and release
oh, how i wish the din would cease
i could do with some protection
mhmm

[chorus]
you want to know, did i ever steal?
he never leaves anything out that’s real
i took nothing he would miss
and only once i stole a kiss

yes i’m the great man’s chambermaid
i’ve seen where his hallowed head is laid
i revere the places he has played
and clean crumbs from his typewriter

he often gives me sage advice
when i dream of him at night
he slips his pen into my hand
and says “don’t forget to write”
