1930 Lyrics - The Gaslight Anthem

Give me mercy and a minute now 

I'm a bleed a little poison out 

I'm a cry a little river down 

And then I'm setting this whole thing on fire 

And I'm burning up the night she died 

And I'm putting every last picture aside 

I'm gonna say what I need to say 

In my very last letter to you 

Cause you always made it clear 

Said that you'd never be my pain 

So here's to you and your bright baby blues 

And just a pause to cool the refrain 

And you said you were satisfied 

And now this body's just waiting to die 

And that you missed him sometimes but you said it's alright 

It's just a whole lot harder alone

But I wish you knew her now 

She's a better side of me now 

And I'm doing the best I can 

It's what you wanted 

And I see you like you were there 

And I know just how you'd smile 

Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night 

But here the nights they will eat you alive 

But I won't give in tonight 

You said it's not worth my time 

And not to regard them 

And not to settle just a piece of mind 

But I can wait it out all night 

If you'll just keep breathing 

But Mary I found a sound 

And this heart keeps pouring it out 

And the glory hasn't come and it's probably gonna fade 

Like the tattoo that hides this shame 

Photos 

And the reasons always fade 

And the pain gets out some day 

And I'm saying my goodbyes to your deep blue eyes 

Cause I don't know how to say stay still in the pain 

But I wish you knew her now 

She's a better side of me now 

And I'm doing the best I can 

It's what you wanted 

And I see you like you were there 

And I know just how you'd smile 

Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night 

If I recall the last thing you said to me 

Before it broke up, before it took you from me 

And you said "I love you more than the stars in the sky 

But your name just escapes me tonight"
