He Said He Had A Story Lyrics - The Dear Hunter

There was a silver circle sign 

And she was standing at the door 

We pressed our way right through the crowd 

Our pace was quickened to her floor 

There was a single fading light 

And there was silk all on the wall 

She had a lot of love to give 

I was prepared to take it all 

[But what did she do next?] 

She had disrobed 

And she was waiting on the floor 

She asked me what it was I want 

I thought that I wanted it all 

[What did you say?] 

I said "stand up and move your body to the bed" 

She quickly stood and turned 

And here's exactly what she said 

"Please be soft and sweet to me, 

This life has not been good you see. 

It's hard with such a history 

Buried in misery." 

[And what did you do next?] 

I broke a smile reminding that I paid her well 

(Her lips were turned?) 

And then I felt her hands 

Unbuckling my belt 

[So was it good?] 

Oh, it felt like heaven 

But I'm sure she was in hell 

I made it clear I'd get my moneys worth 

Out of the good she sells 

Break and bind yourself to me 

Deliver what you sold 

You see that I will only take from you 

And use it up 

I'll use you up 

What was your name? 

Break and bind yourself to me 

Deliver what you sold 

You see that I will only take from you 

To use it up 

I'll use you up 

What was your name?
