Half Dead
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman
She lies there half dead in your arms
More beautiful than the last time she came undone, undone
She didn’t forget, but why did you?
Time doesn’t heal all wounds
Least of all you
You crawl through her veins like a drug intent on a kill
Put her out like a painter setting his watercolor masterpiece in the storm
Her eyes a deep ocean blue roll off the canvas,
too young to know what you held in your hands
She dies and the world doesn’t know what its lost
Least of all you
Ohh…
Could you, could you, could you, one last time?
Could you? ‘cause you were the only one
Could you twist under love
Deep down below earth and cold stone
a broken soul sings out still from the silence, alone
Lightly loved with forceful words she fell by your hand
angry in a mess of sin and old lies
you promised to save her but you left her to die
Ohh…
Could you, could you, could you, one last time?
Could you? ‘cause you were the only one
Could you twist under?
She lies there half dead in your arms
More beautiful than the last time she came undone
~~~~~ Play it yourself! ~~~~~
