Thea Gilmore Contessa Lyrics

Contessa, Contessa please leave your hat by the door
I thought I told you you couldn't call round anymore
Outside in the street and the rains turning tricks on the day
Contessa I've told you so why do you come anyway?

Ten years ago by the motorway bridge with a smile
And your red laquer shoes oh you lived inside me for a while
I had an old cow bone that I used to draw hearts in the dust
Contessa please tell me just what the hell happened to us

I've gone
Gone run that road
Run that road home

I was a scared little kid with a head full of hormones and holes
One eye on atonement and a body already grown old
There you were with your secrets and your notebook of genuine lies
Saying "girl its your party but you sure as hell don't wanna cry, no you don't wanna cry"

I've gone
Gone run that road
Run that road home

So I was the black sheep yeah I was the lone cavalier
But with a face like stone oh Connie its lonely out here
So I've taken some pills and I've played with the hand I was dealt
And you saved me that time but now I've learned to save myself
