Blue Dahlia Lyrics - The Gaslight Anthem

What a hard and sultry summer 

Steam just slides up off them streets 

You gotta stay inside and wait for the night 

And then come on over and see me 

'Cause there's poetry about these streets 

And it slips from your skin and goes right underneath 

And mama always knew I'd meet a girl like you 

But me, I never believed 

'Cause I've been so lonely 

I can't imagine that kind of sympathy 

'Cause I've been so lonely 

I can't imagine that kind of sympathy 

Where'd you get them scars? 

How blue is your heart? 

Is it sad enough to break 

She said, "It's sad enough to break"

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

How long was your life? 

Was it cold and strange like mine? 

Are you man enough to lay here? 

She said, "I'm man enough 

My baby, come see about me" 

I had a dream about you once 

I could barely see your form 

And I met you between the wax and the needle 

In the words of my favorite song 

And your black hair was like a raven 

With your tan skin on the beach 

And your backdrop were the auroras 

And my sidekick was all this grief 

And I been so low down 

I been almost level with the ground

Where'd you get them scars? 

How blue is your heart? 

Is it sad enough to break 

She said, "It's sad enough to break" 

How long was your life? 

Was it cold and strange like mine? 

Are you man enough to lay here? 

She said, "I'm man enough 

My baby, come see about me" 

And did they take you the carnival 

To get locked up on a ride? 

See me, I got caught up with the fortune tellers 

And the ladies with the sleepy eyes 

And it took years, my baby, just to come clean 

Every street light, a reminder 

And all those apologies 

And the night was lonely next to me 

Even the night was lonely next to me 

Where'd you get them scars? 

How blue is your heart? 

Is it sad enough to break 

She said, "It's sad enough to break" 

How long was your life? 

Was it cold and strange like mine? 

Are you man enough to lay here? 

She said, "I'm man enough 

My baby, come see about me" 

Come see about me 

Come see about me 

Come see about me 

Whenever you're lonely
