Ruth Marie Lyrics - Rock 'n' Roll Singer - Mark Kozelek

I grew so old in that house I lived in 

They brought me here 'cause I can't take care 

I lost my worth and my purpose here 

I feel you cry, but I can't speak my mind 

Will you hold me and never let me go? 

'Cause I hated when you walk outside that door 

'Cause I know I won't ever see your eyes 

The eyes I gave you 

When my eyes shut, they'll take me to the land 

For fifty years I lived there with my man 

And on my own, I lived for forty more 

I watched you grow up from babies on the floor

To the beautiful women that you are 

And I hated that you've gone away so far 

'Cause I know I won't ever see those eyes 

The eyes I gave you 

The evenings fall, they'll drag me out the hall 

Up to my bunk and drug me 'til I'm numb 

But pass the haze, I see your pretty face 

Remember me when I'm gone 

Photos 

You know I love you, though I can hardly say 

And I hate it when you see me in this way 

But in darkness, I'll always see those eyes 

The eyes I gave you
