1930

1930

Gaslight Anthem (The)
(album: Sink Or Swim)

Give me mercy and I need it now,
I�m a bleed a little poison out,
I�m a cry a little river down
and then I�m setting this whole thing on fire,
and I�m burning up the night she died
and I�m putting every last picture aside
I�m gonna say what I need to say,
in my very last letter to you,
cuz you always made it clear,
said that you�d never be my pain.
So here�s to you when you cried baby blues
And just paused a cool to refrain
And you said she was satisfied
and this body�s just waiting to die
and I could listen sometimes
but you said its alright
its just a whole lot harder alone.
But I wish you knew her now,
she�s a better side of me now,
and I�m doing the best I can,
its what you wanted,
and I sing like you were there
and I knew it was just how you would smile
Mary you looked just like
it was 1930 that night.
But hear the nights they will eat you alive,
but I won�t give in tonight,
You said its not worth my time
and not to record them,
And not to settle just a piece of mind
but I can wait it out all night,
