Ryan Adams Karina
Karina, if I told you what I wanted to
I wonder if you would've stuck around
Well, I could take you walking down to Hoxton Square
With the lazy afternoon still kickin' around
Karina, if I left it where I wanted to
Yeah, I wonder if you'd sit around and smile
When you're dreamin' of America, your father's ghost
Breaks the door with all his chains just rattlin' around
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus, "won't you let Karina free?"
Karina, all this silence, it's so deafening
And all the leaves have fallen from the trees
I could hold your cigarette on Oxford Street
But I'm back here, where your lover wants me to be
And Karina, there's this patience in the things we say
It's the harboring of all the things we do
Yeah, and everytime I tell myself there’s nothing left
May I always say your name and think of you
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus, "won’t you let Karina free?"
I'd beg to Jesus, "won’t you let Karina free?"
Karina, if I told you what I wanted to

Breaks the door when all his chains just rattle around
'Cause if it were easy
You wouldn't need me
If it would bring you any ease
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free?"
I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free?"
Oh, I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karina free?"
