1936 Lyrics - Perils From The Sea - Mark Kozelek

I stole a dime from my mother's drawer 

The one her father gave her just before the war 

Kids are fucking pricks, 1936 

I return my book and sold it to someone 

Bought a bag of weed for $7.14 

Split her up with my girl and laid down under the trees 

Looking up at the squirrels, jumping branch to branch 

Fell asleep in the dirt and a trail of army ants 

But it must have been winter, my mom was cleaning up 

Heard her in her bedroom, all broken up 

I hurried to the door, she cried there softly more 

She turned her armoire over, the??? was gone 

Sat down on the floor, I held her sort clothes 

That little silver coin was all she had to show 

For her father's love and the time they had 

Before he held her last time, never came back

Must have been spring when I'd finally woken up 

Got her out of bed all choken up 

I just wanted to die, "For Christ, it was me." 

Stupid little punk, maybe 14 

Head was a foggy grey, a clouded??? 

Oh what luck I found when the neighbors chimed in 

I sat my mother down, I held her and we wept 

One day I'll find it Mom(, by god I will) 

1993, down in Tennessee 

Me and Lumiere, we stopped and ate at Dairy Queen 

Got a blizzard with Coke and some friends 

I gave the girl a 20 and she said she's out of 5's 

What about some 1's, what about a roll of dimes? 

Kid brings them in, kid robs his grandma blind 

Grabbed her from that check, cracked 'em open quick 

First one in my hand was a 1936 

Photos 

Sent it to my mom, said it ain't the one 

But please forgive me, please, for the hurt that I have done 

I won't stop looking, hurts me to this day 

You know I love you Mom, no words could ever say
