lyrics

LYRICS:

In the lakeshore waves outside
I hear you get up in the night
for a glass of water.

Seven years since death came through
but you know that I still think of you,
imagining you so.

I still run the motel through
the summer months and weekends too.
It wears me down now.

My friend, that you chased away,
had come to visit. Now she stays.
It’s been a year long.

I’m afraid to sleep.
I never know now where she’ll be.
Her eyes follow me.
Everywhere I go she sees.

I still couldn't tell you her name
and you know I tire of her games
but she’s all I have.

How she hates the matador rug.
So, I sleep the bed it hangs above
but she howls at the door.

The only room I get any rest
has green carpet and a single bed.
A statue of Mary over me.

I’m afraid to sleep.
It doesn’t matter where she’ll be.
Her eyes follow me.
Nowhere I can go I’m free.
