J. Tillman - Cecille, My Love lyrics
[J. Tillman - Cecille, My Love lyrics]
Oh, Cecille my love how can it be
That one so small should carry me
When I am weak?
Oh, Cecille my love the river holds the gun
I used to kill the one who held us apart
For so long
Your father's house i have burned down
I saved the letters you wrote
But could not send
I saved the one you wrote me of your death
There’s a place on the hill
Where you and I shall dwell it's by the sea
The grave I made so we can rest in peace
Oh, Cecille my love the river has washed up
The only way I see you soon
Father, forgive me for what I do
That one so small should carry me
When I am weak?
Oh, Cecille my love the river holds the gun
I used to kill the one who held us apart
For so long
Your father's house i have burned down
I saved the letters you wrote
But could not send
I saved the one you wrote me of your death
There’s a place on the hill
Where you and I shall dwell it's by the sea
The grave I made so we can rest in peace
Oh, Cecille my love the river has washed up
The only way I see you soon
Father, forgive me for what I do
