[The Gaslight Anthem - I Live In The Room Above Her lyrics]
I live in the room above her
And she doesn't know my name
But I'm afraid that if I see her
I will not see you again
Sometimes she passes by the window
Her skin is pearl and pale and ghost
And I hear someone crying sometimes
Like there is really something wrong
I hear her singin'
"Lay down in my arms
Lover, you will one day
Miss all my charms
So come on
Lay down in my arms
Sleep, baby, sleep
The cruel morning is not very far"
I never see her watch the sunrise
I hear a record lightly play
Sometimes I think I hear some movement
Like something can't get away
Now there's a picture in a Bible
That I swear I've seen before
Where she was bathing on the rooftop
While David looked on
I hear her singin'
"Lay down in my arms
Lover, you will one day
Miss all my charms
So come on
Lay down in my arms
Sleep, baby, sleep
The cruel morning is not very far"
I hear her singin'
"Lay down in my arms
Lover, you will one day
Miss all my charms
So come on
Lay down in my arms
Sleep, baby, sleep
The cruel morning is not very far"
I live in the room above her
And I never make a sound
Except for the matches for the candles
And the radio turned down
And she doesn't know my name
But I'm afraid that if I see her
I will not see you again
Sometimes she passes by the window
Her skin is pearl and pale and ghost
And I hear someone crying sometimes
Like there is really something wrong
I hear her singin'
"Lay down in my arms
Lover, you will one day
Miss all my charms
So come on
Lay down in my arms
Sleep, baby, sleep
The cruel morning is not very far"
I never see her watch the sunrise
I hear a record lightly play
Sometimes I think I hear some movement
Like something can't get away
Now there's a picture in a Bible
That I swear I've seen before
Where she was bathing on the rooftop
While David looked on
I hear her singin'
"Lay down in my arms
Lover, you will one day
Miss all my charms
So come on
Lay down in my arms
Sleep, baby, sleep
The cruel morning is not very far"
I hear her singin'
"Lay down in my arms
Lover, you will one day
Miss all my charms
So come on
Lay down in my arms
Sleep, baby, sleep
The cruel morning is not very far"
I live in the room above her
And I never make a sound
Except for the matches for the candles
And the radio turned down
