Palmyra Lyrics - Living & The Dead - Jolie Holland

Only a few old petals left 

On the rose that touched your hand 

My little heart is a graveyard 

It's a no man's land 

You could tell I didn't care 

You kept pushing till I did 

Woke up in a pit of despair on your bed 

And I wondered how I could do without you 

How absurd, how absurd 

How absurd

Put my lipstick back on 

Look myself in the eye 

I'm headed out in the cold hard world 

And I'm getting very good at saying my goodbyes 

My goodbyes, my goodbyes 

My goodbyes, my goodbyes 

Can you read the inscription? 

It seems to once have said 

He better take me with him 

When he goes I'm good as dead 

Put some roses on the stones 

Look your friends in the eye 

If nothing else we've got that old second line 

And I'll dance at your funeral if you dance at mine 

You dance at mine, you dance at mine 

You dance at mine, you dance at mine

Sweet Palmyra and that old Ninth Ward 

Have to hit that long road that passes straight through hell 

Straight through hell, straight through hell 

I wish you well sweet Palmyra 

I wish you well sweet Palmyra 

I wish you well sweet Palmyra
