mark kozelek – ruth marie lyrics
i grew so old in that house i lived in
they brought me here ’cause i can’t take care
i lost my worth and my purpose here
i feel you cry, but i can’t speak my mind
will you hold me and never let me go?
’cause i hated when you walk outside that door
’cause i know i won’t ever see your eyes
the eyes i gave you
when my eyes shut, they’ll take me to the land
for fifty years i lived there with my man
and on my own, i lived for forty more
i watched you grow up from babies on the floor
to the beautiful women that you are
and i hated that you’ve gone away so far
’cause i know i won’t ever see those eyes
the eyes i gave you
the evenings fall, they’ll drag me out the hall
up to my bunk and drug me ’til i’m numb
but p-ss the haze, i see your pretty face
remember me when i’m gone
you know i love you, though i can hardly say
and i hate it when you see me in this way
but in darkness, i’ll always see those eyes
the eyes i gave you
