Margery Lyrics - Counting Crows

In the still water she lies down 

Shaking in the press of sunlight 

We rolled into lexington 

She shakes off the drop of daylight 

Water beading up her chest 

Bleeding down between her knees 

Rivers in kentucky flow 

Between the bluegrass wavy seas 

But oh, margery 

Twists the knife once more inside of me 

Breathless with anticipation 

Baited breathers set their hooks 

Tuck their heads beneath the high grass 

And lie and wait beside the brooks 

For instance? pushing slowly through 

Frustration leading back along 

The alleys of a childhood 

Will not release us willingly 

But oh, margery 

Sticks the knife in while I coundn't the sea 

Dust me off and shut me down 

And dream of where I haven't been 

Close the door inside my heart 

Stuck in the south atlantic wind 

I have hollow eyes 

Haunting only to myself 

Even so, I can't stop calling 

This great big hollows in my self 

I took the train form california 

To the far side of the continent 

Woke up in kentucky 

Where a wedding was about to end 

I looked up at anna 

She turned back to look at me 

It's best to kill the ones that matter 

Render blind the ones who see 

But oh, margery 

Takes the blade and walks away from me 

Oh, margery 

Love like blood is pouring out of me 

Oh, margery 

My heart won't stop bleeding over me baby 

Oh, I can't shut it in 

It's got far too many doors to block the wind 

Oh, I can't shut it in 

It's got far too many doors to block the wind
