Mistress Lyrics - Little Hells - Marissa Nadler

Sometimes you bring me flowers 

A misery, it seems to me 

I don't want to live a day without you 

Haunting my memory 

Goodbye misery 

Letters on the line 

Goodbye misery 

Letters on the line 

Come in now, you know I won't desert you 

It's been four years of waiting for the day 

That you would leave your girl 

And take me somewhere away 

Summertime is hard and I knew it on the spot 

I would marry you some sunny day 

But baby, I know it's strange to end up this way 

A mistress on a sunny day 

One thousand bottles of why 

And the days of rum turn to years of swine 

I'm leaving you for good this time 

Dreams and scars and letters on the line 

Goodbye misery 

Letters on the line 

Summertime is hard and I knew it on the spot 

I would marry you some sunny day 

Baby, I know it's strange to end up this way 

A mistress on a sunny day 

Goodbye misery 

Letters on the line 

Goodbye misery 

Letters on the line
