Contessa Lyrics - Thea Gilmore

Contessa, Contessa, oh please leave your hat by the door 

Well, I thought I told you you couldn't call round anymore 

And outside in the street and the rains turning tricks on the day 

Contessa, I've told you so why do you come anyway? 

Well, ten years ago by the motorway bridge with a smile 

And your red lacquer shoes, oh you lived inside me for a while 

I had an old cow bone that I used to draw hearts in the dust 

Contessa please tell me just what the hell happened to us 

'Cause I've gone 

Gone run that road 

I've gone 

Gone run that road 

Run that road home 

I was a scared little kid with a head full of hormones and holes 

With one eye on atonement and a body already grown old 

There you were with your secrets and your notebook of genuine lies 

Saying "girl its your party 

But you sure as hell don't wanna cry, 

Don't wanna cry" 

I've gone 

Gone run that road 

I've gone 

Gone run that road 

Run that road home 

Yeah, run that road home 

So I was the black sheep, yeah, I was the lone cavalier 

But with a face like stone, oh Connie its lonely out here 

I've taken some pills and I've played with the hand I was dealt 

And you saved me that time but now I've learned to save myself 

And I've gone 

Gone run that road 

I've gone 

Gone run that road 

Run that road home 

Oh, run that road home 

Yeah, run that road home 

Yeah, run that road home
