Okkervil River Black Lyrics

I'm coming into your town
Night is falling to the ground
But I can still see
Where you loved yourself
Before he tore it all down, April 12th
With nobody else around
You were outside the house
Where's your mother?

When he put you in the car
When he took you down the road
And I can still see where it was open
The door he slammed closed, it was open
The door he slammed closed, it was open
Long ago

Don't lose me now
Don't lose me now
Though I know that I'm not useful anyhow
Just let me stick around

And I'll tell you, like before
You should say his name the way that he said yours
You don't want to say his name anymore
Oh, Cynda Moore

Baby daughter on the road
Wrapped up warm in daddy's coat
Well, I can still see the cigarette's heat
Can't believe all that you're telling me
What is cutting like the smoke through your teeth as You're telling me, "Forget it"

But if I could tear his throat
Spill his blood between my jaws
And erase his name for good
Don't you know that I would?
Don't you realize I wouldn't pause, that I would
Cut him down with my claws
If I could have somehow
Never let that happen?

Or I'd call some black midnight
f___ up his new life
Where they don't know what he did
Tell his brand-new wife and his second kid

And I'll tell you like before
You should wreck his life
The way that he wrecked yours
You want no part of his life anymore
Oh, Cynda Moore

Don't lose me now
Let me help you out
Though I know that I can't help you anyhow
When I watch you I'm proud

When I tell you twice before
You should wreck his life
The way that he wrecked yours
But you want no part of his life anymore
Oh, Cynda Moore

And it'll never be the way it was before
But I wish that you would let me through that door
Let me through that door, baby
