Leslie Anne Levine Lyrics - Castaways And Cutouts - Decemberists

My name is Leslie Anne Levine 

My mother birthed me down a dry ravine 

My mother birthed me far too soon 

Born at nine and dead at noon 

Fifteen years gone now, I still wander this parapet 

And shake my rattled bone 

Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoat 

Of the girl who died with me 

On the roof above the streets 

The only love I've known is a chimney sweep 

Lost and lodged inside a flue 

Back in 1842

Fifteen years gone now, I still wail from these catacombs 

And curse my mother's name 

Fifteen years gone now, still a wastrel mescalined 

Has brought this fate on me 

My name is Leslie Anne Levine 

I've got no one left to mourn for me 

My body lies inside its grave 

In a ditch not far away

Fifteen years gone, I still wander this parapet 

And shake my rattled bone 

Fifteen years gone now, I still cling to the petticoat 

Of the girl who died with me 

Who died with me 

Who died with me 

Who died with me
