Lucille Songtext

von Kieran Goss

In a bar in Toledo across from the depot on a
Bar stool she took off her ring
I thought i'd get closer so I walked on over I
Sat down and asked her name
When the drinks finally hit her she said I'm no
Quitter but I finally quit livin on dreams
I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm
After what-ever the other life brings

In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I
Thought how he looked out of place
He came to the woman who sat there be-side me he
Had a strange look on his face
The big hands were calloused he looked like a
Mountain for a minute I thought I was dead
But he started shaking his big heart was
Breaking he turned to the woman and said

You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille
With four hungry children and a crop in the field
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times but
This time your hurting won't heal
You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille.

After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd
Made him look small
From the lights of the bar room to a rented ho-tel room we
Walked without talking at all
She was a beauty but when she came to me she
Must have thought I'd lost my mind
I could'nt hold her 'cos the words that told her kept
Coming back time after time

[Chorus]
