cœur de pirate - lucille lyrics

Loading...

in a bar in toledo, across from the depot
on a barstool she took off her ring
i thought i’d get closer
so i walked on over
i sat down and asked her her name
when the drinks finally hit her
she said,”i’m no quitter
but i finally quit living on dreams
i’m hungry for laughter
here ever after
i’m after whatever the other life brings.”

in the mirror i saw him
and i closely watched him
i thought how he looked out of place
he came to the woman
who sat there beside me
he had a strange look on his face
the big hands were calloused
he looked like a mountain
for a minute i thought i was dead
but he started shaking
his big heart was breaking
he turned to the woman and said

“you picked a fine time to leave me, lucille
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
i’ve had some bad times
lived through some sad times
this time the hurtin’ won’t heal
you picked a fine time to leave me, lucille

after he left us, i ordered more whiskey
i thought how she’d made him look small
from the lights of the barroom to the rented hotel room
we walked without talking at all
she was a beauty, but when she came to me
she must have thought i’d lost my mind
i couldn’t hold her, for the words that he told her
kept comin’ back time after time

“you picked a fine time to leave me, lucille
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
i’ve had some bad times
lived through some sad times
this time the hurtin’ won’t heal
you picked a fine time to leave me, lucille

“you picked a fine time to leave me, lucille
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
i’ve had some bad times
lived through some sad times
this time the hurtin’ won’t heal
you picked a fine time to leave me, lucille
