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
But don't lose me now
Don't lose me now though I know
That I'm not useful anyhow
Just let me stick around while I tell you
Like before you should say "Hi!"s name the
Way that he said yours
But you don't want to say
"Hi!"s name anymore oh, cynda Moore

Baby daughter on the road
You're wrapped up warm in daddy's coat
And I can still see the cigarette's heat i
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
Fuck up his new life where they
Don't know what he did
Tell his brand-new wife and his second kid
And I 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
That you should wreck
His life the way that he wrecked yours
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
