Lady Lamb - Regarding Descending the Stairs lyrics
[Lady Lamb - Regarding Descending the Stairs lyrics]
On the train a stranger's breath
Creeps into my chest
And it's always startling when you
Call me by my name
Even though I consider you to
Be a dear friend
Violet Clem, Violet Clementine
Violet Clem, Violet Clementine, Vi
The parentheses are your temples that I
Read in between the lines of
Then climbed up the steps
And left your sky-blues
Oh, Vi I'm not dead set on
What I'm meant to do
Love of mine I'm trying to be true to you
Carroll Street I come
I leave your station time and time over
But, you've given me many a
Thing to soldier on towards
These words in a row build me a home
Beneath which I bury my bones
Picturing you painting is what
Puts me at ease
You have a way of getting yourself mixed
Into the songs that I sing
If I'm peanut butter well
Then you're still aubergine
And you'd fit real nice right
Beside me in this painting
Creeps into my chest
And it's always startling when you
Call me by my name
Even though I consider you to
Be a dear friend
Violet Clem, Violet Clementine
Violet Clem, Violet Clementine, Vi
The parentheses are your temples that I
Read in between the lines of
Then climbed up the steps
And left your sky-blues
Oh, Vi I'm not dead set on
What I'm meant to do
Love of mine I'm trying to be true to you
Carroll Street I come
I leave your station time and time over
But, you've given me many a
Thing to soldier on towards
These words in a row build me a home
Beneath which I bury my bones
Picturing you painting is what
Puts me at ease
You have a way of getting yourself mixed
Into the songs that I sing
If I'm peanut butter well
Then you're still aubergine
And you'd fit real nice right
Beside me in this painting
