Mistress Lyrics

Marissa Nadler Mistress

Sometimes you bring me flowers
a misery to me
and I don't want to like a day
without my memory

goodbye Missouri
letters on the line

come here now
you know I won't desert you
it's been four years of
waiting for the day
that you would leave your
girl and take me somewhere away

summertime was lost
and i knew it on the spot
I would marry you some sunny day
But baby i know its strange
to end up this way
a mistress on a sunny day

1000 bottles of why
and the days of rum
turn to years of swine

I'm leaving you for good this time
dreams and scars and letters on the line
