Louise Burns ''Lodger'' (Live at the Opera)

Lyrics :

I don't know why I even bother
Don't know what I ever saw in you
I guess in my heart you were a lodger
Left me broken down (...)

I am not a preacher, I'm a choir
Yes, I paid my fair share of dues
Takes a lot of sticks to build a fire
Just one day of rain to see it through

Take me to the border, gonna leave my troubles behind
Lord, it's been a long time since I had a peace of mind
Take me to the southern town, where all the weather is fine
Lord, it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind

Can you coat your heart with bits of cocaine
Maybe then you'll feel a thing or two
Sleep around 'til midnight, count 'til morning
Wake up knowing that the joke's on you

Saddest thing of all is the inside
The inside of an empty glass of wine
'Cause even though the glass is here and shining
All I see's this empty heart of mine

Take me to the border, gonna leave my troubles behind
Lord, it's been a long time since I had a peace of mind
Take me to the southern town, where all the weather is fine
Lord, it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind

Take me to the border, gonna leave my troubles behind
Lord, it's been a long time since I had a peace of mind
Take me to the southern town, where all the weather is fine
Lord, it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind

Take me to the border, gonna leave my troubles behind
Lord, it's been a long time since I had a peace of mind
Take me to the southern town, where all the weather is fine
Lord, it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind...
