Kathleen Lyrics - Mutineers - David Gray

Lay down my head by the wayside 

My worn out shoes 

Quite why she went I can't decide 

Yeah, but I sure could use 

One plate of food steaming and hot 

Clean linen ironed 

On a fresh made bed but I ain't got 

One salty dime, one salty dime 

Just close your eyes it won't take long 

It won't hurt a bit 

Telling myself I could be strong 

Or some such brave bullshit

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Trucks are roaring by I'm a red ghost 

In their tail light gleam 

I'm a tumbleweed, I'm a spit roast 

Turning in your flame 

Oh, my darling Kathleen 

Cars they sound like waves that are breaking 

On some distant shore 

I gazed so long into the great aching sky 

It seemed like I, I wasn't here no more 

My rushing blood was a river 

My eyes two stars 

My blowing hair all a quiver 

A whispering field of grass 

That murmurs as you pass 

Photos 

Oh, my darling Kathleen 

That whispers out your name 

Oh, my darling Kathleen 

Oh, my darling Kathleen
