Richard Thompson - Missie How You Let Me Down Lyrics
Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind racesOne more night of running my mind over lost embracesThe steps you made when you walked awayStill frozen in the groundOh missie how you let me downOh missie how you let me downOh missie how you let me downAnd lies won't break my fallLies won't break my fallYour food's still sitting there at the table where you used to beThe shape of you is still in the bed there next to meMaybe I could find some trace of you to keep aroundOh missie how you let me downOh missie how you let me downFor far too long you kept me waitingReaching out into empty airEven now you'd never say it face to faceThat you really don't careAnd if you never liked pulling teethThen why, why did you tie me in the dentist's chairAh you left your mark on this old place, that you didI could stew in here like a pressure cooker and screw down the lidOr maybe I should just take a matchAnd burn the whole thing to the groundOh missie how you let me downOh missie how you let me downOh missie how you let me downOh missie how you let me downOh missie how you let me downOh missie how you let me downAnd lies won't break my fallLies won't break my fall
