Keepsake Lyrics - Handwritten - The Gaslight Anthem

It's been thirty-one years 

Since she's been in your arms 

But don't worry about Mama 

Mama's got a good heart 

And I'm not looking for your love 

I'm only sniffing out blood 

Just a little taste of where I came from 

And at the bottom of this river 

Is where I put you down to lay 

So I can live with it 

And in my heart there are these waters 

Where I put you down to lay 

While I learn to live with it 

Until I'm free

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And it's been all my life 

I've been wondering on the inside 

What we could've had 

If you'd had a part in my life 

And there were children involved 

And they were brothers to me 

Even if we never got to meet 

And at the bottom of this river 

Is where I put you down to lay 

So I can live with it 

And in my heart there are these waters 

Where I put you down to lay 

While I learn to live with it 

Until I'm 

Photos 

Free at last from this shadow that hangs 

Surely you wonder sometimes 

And I'm sure you all sympathize 

Just what a man's to become, just like his daddy's done 

I just want to love someone 

Who has the same blood 

And at the bottom of this river 

Is where I put you down to lay 

So I can live with it 

And in my heart there are these waters 

Where I put you down to lay 

While I learn to live with it
