[ti:A History of Lovers]
[ar:Iron and Wine]
[00:18.09] Louise only got from me innocent poetry
[00:23.09] Although she played to not listen
[00:27.21] But still I can hear myself speak as if no one else
[00:32.05] Ever could offer the same
[00:36.27] Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
[00:41.13] All those so foolish and willing
[00:45.10] I said, "Babe, I can picture you bend as if wanting to
[00:49.59] Bow as the curtain goes down"
[00:55.02] Cuddle some men, they'll remember you bitterly
[00:59.00] Fuck 'em, they'll come back for more
[01:03.51] I asked my Louise, would she leave and so, cripple me
[01:08.09] Then came a knock at the door
[01:12.67] I came for my woman, he came with a razor blade
[01:17.25] Bound like us all for the ocean
[01:21.05] I hope that she's happy, I'm blamed for the death
[01:25.71] Of a man who would take her from me
[01:31.90]
[01:48.80] Some say they saw in me innocent poetry
[01:53.72] Some say they'll never be certain
[01:57.40] But still it's been written, a history of lovers
[02:02.50] In giving, and taking, and ink
[02:07.09] Cuddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly
[02:11.64] Cut 'em, they'll come back for more
[02:16.47] I asked my Louise, would she leave and so, cripple me
[02:20.66] Then came the knock at the door
[02:25.15] Louise came to rescue me, missing the irony
[02:29.97] Blood made her heart change its beating
[02:33.80] I hope that she's happy, I'm blamed for the death
[02:39.15] Of a man she found better than me
[02:47.39]
