Okkervil River - Just Give Me Time lyrics
[Okkervil River - Just Give Me Time lyrics]
A pinecone from the pine
To cut into her palm
Singing the song her sinking lover sung
I shut my eyes
Ripped the train from off the line
But a sudden gust of snow blew through
A hole in my girl's clothes
Well, my girl knows she's not all right
And I don't mind
Just give me time, baby, give me time
Her stinging eyes, and her sixteen-hour
Drive, and our shared, transparent rope
And our icy dive through hope I'll memorize
And I'll cut into my mind
I can't believe it can be so
I won't believe that my girl froze
Well, my girl knows I'm coiled
Tight and green inside
Just give me time, baby, give me time
And that weight you hold, it's getting light
And, love
I know you'll raise it easily up high
Just give it time, just give it time
Oh baby, just give it time
