Stablemate - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

How could one ever think anything’s permanent?

How can you sleep when I’m going away?

I haven’t a reason left in my head

To not go away

Haven’t you heard I’ve a new invitation

To give to a woman who sits and who works

Whose father does not ever not let her have

Something she wants

When will you work and when will you struggle

To die in a day and rescend your own fate?

Cause I haven’t the time nor have I the need

To sit here and wait

It took her in when it just didn’t want to

When she came to the house and she sat in the yard

And she whistled and stared at the day make its way

It was found to be hard

It was hard to know you were the only lover

But that you would test it so carelessly

That you would ruin me if I would not have you

This is your way
