Goodnight, Irene Songtext

von Okkervil River

Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have these great notions
Jump into the river and drown
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene
I guess you're in my dreams

I asked your mother for you
She told me you were too young
I wished to god I'd never seen your face
I'm sorry I'd ever been born
Irene, goonight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight, Irene
Goodnight, Irene

I guess you're in my dreams

I love Irene, god knows I do
I love her 'til the seas run dry
And if Irene goes back on me
Gonna take morphine and die
Irene, goodnight
Irene, goodnight
Goodnight Irene
Goodnight Irene
I guess you're in my dreams
