Ben Lee - Ketchum Lyrics
Today I got my call from ketchum idahoFrom hemingway and railways and whiskey wine and snowBut if youve never been in pain before then I guess you wouldnt knowIm leaving in a while now for ketchums icy stingTo walk and fish and write some songs, to stay up late and drinkAnd if I stay there long enough then Ill never feel a thingAnd ketchum will be good to you if are strong and braveShe caters to the melancholy every single dayAnd babbles like a drunk old man unloading all his painIll lock myself in ketchums stare Ill make her my whole worldIm gonna roam the ketchum streets to find a ketchum girlAnd then Ill let her break my heart cos thats all that I do wellThe valley will become my home her hills will keep me safeIll give her songs about my soul when theres no soul left to takeAnd Ill forget I ever lived in any other placeAnd it may seem inevitable I would love this fateSo beautiful and tragic and her heroes cant escapeAnd hemingway he shot himself one july evening lateBut me I couldnt bring myself to bloody ketchums nameUnderneath her passion boils, never spoils surface tameIll slowly let her kill me with her lonely wind and rainHer lonely tears and pain
