The Gaslight Anthem - Keepsake Lyrics
It's been 31 years since she's been in your armsBut don't worry about mama, mama's got a good heart.And I'm not looking for your love, I'm only sniffing out bloodJust a little taste of where I came from.At the bottom of this river,Is where I put you down to lay so I can live with it.And in my heart, heart, heart, there are these watersWhere I put you down to lie while I learned to live with it.Until I'm freeAnd it's been all my life, I've been wandering on the insideWhat we could have had here if you'd been a part of my life.And there were children involved and they were brothers to me,Even if we never got to meet.At the bottom of this river,Is where I put you down to lay so I can live with itAnd in my heart, heart, heart, there are these watersWhere I put you down to lie while I learned to live with it.Until I'm free at last from this shadow that hangsSurely you wonder sometimes,And I'm sure you all sympathize,Just what a man's to become,But just like his daddy has done,I just want to love someone who has the same blood, who has the same blood.And at the bottom of this river,Is where I put you down to lay so I can live with itAnd in my heart, heart, heart, there are these watersWhere I put you down to lie while I learned to live with it.Keepsake, the keepsake.'Till I'm free
