The Governess - Live from 11th Street Records
Lyrics
Who did you say you were? I didn't catch your name Falling down to earth Down from a higher plane Oh, it's been decades Say, what did you see? Oh, I've been so lonely Won't you keep me company? Do you remember me? We met out on the farm By the fire, you spoke to me And held me in your arms The songs you played for me I long to understand All along the watchtower And castles made of sand 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 Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach? Do you remember me? We spoke by telephone The bad connection had a meaning of its own Of all the good and all the stupid shit I've done The worst was all for me Not hurting anyone When there was a wilderness, I wandered wild and free Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief Wish that I was old enough to end the century Gather all the garbage washed up on the beach
