Black - Okkervil River

I'm coming into your town

Night is falling to the ground

But I can still see where you loved yourself

Before he tore it all down April 12th

With nobody else around; you were outside the house

Where's your mother

When he put you in the car

When he took you down the road

And I can still see where it was open

The door he slammed closed

It was open the door he slammed closed

It was open long ago

But don't lose me now don't lose me now

Though I know that I'm not useful anyhow

Just let me stick around while I tell you like before

You should say his name the way that he said yours

But you don't want to say his name anymore

Oh Cynda Moore

Baby daughter on the road

You're wrapped up warm in daddy's coat

And I can still see the cigarette's heat

I can't believe all that you're telling me

What is cutting like the smoke through your teeth as you're telling me forget it

But if I could tear his throat

And spill his blood between my jaws

And erase his name out for good don't you know that I would

Don't you realize that I wouldn't pause

That I would cut him down with my claws

If I could have somehow never let that happen

Or I'd call some black midnight

F**k up his new life where they don't know what he did

Tell his brand-new wife and his second kid

Though I tell you like before

That you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours

You want no part of his life anymore

Oh Cynda Moore

Don't lose me now let me help you out

Though I know that I can't help anyhow

When I watch you I'm proud

When I tell you twice before

That you should wreck his life the way that he wrecked yours

You want no part of his life anymore

Oh Cyna Moore

And it'll never be the way it was before

But I wish that you would let me through that door

Let me through that door
