the gaslight anthem - the spirit of jazz lyrics

Loading...

the cool is dead, baby, go on to sleep
rest your weary head and love a better me
and in the morning we’ll start over again
that’s how they do it up on the screen

see me and my baby, we would dance all night
but i don’t know the steps in my baby’s time
to do it like they do it for the girls uptown
i heard they light ’em up like the blues

so i’m waiting
and she’s waiting
for us to remember

was i good to you, the wife of my youth?
not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
so i will wait on the edges in between
these new york streets where you and i would meet

for twenty-nine years we loved that line
and i would take it easy if i had your mind
but i’m a cannonball to a house on fire
and you’re slow like motown soul

so what now, lover with your long black hair?
if i cut you open, baby, i can repair
bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue
and i’m the only one around here

and i’m waiting
and she’s waiting
for us to recover

so was i good to you, the wife of my youth?
not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
so i will wait on the edges in between
these new york streets where you and i would meet

and only i can heal your wounds
only i can heal your wounds
when you can’t go on, when you can’t go on
when you can’t go on, when you know, hold on

was i good to you, the wife of my youth?
not another soul could love you like my

was i good to you, the wife of my youth?
not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
so i will wait on the edges in between
and i will wait on the edges in between

and i will wait on the edges in between
these new york streets
on all these new york streets
where you and i would meet
