Willie Deadwilder Lyrics - Cat Power

Willie Deadwilder 

(Lyrics written by Chan Marshall / Music written by M. Ward) 

Bonus track included on Speaking for Trees bonus CD 

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca 

They knew that they loved one another 

He said fuck this cabby life 

She said fuck this old trailer 

He said I want you for my wife 

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca 

They saw the same things at once 

They shared the kind of stuff everybody dreams of 

Finding out about, it's all about love

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca 

They got a few more years to go 

Gonna have some good old times 

No more sad, sad bad times 

It's all that they've been waiting for 

Someone to knock at the door 

I tell you there are some people living alone 

There are some people with nowhere to go 

There are some people who don't believe in love 

But Willie and Rebecca prove them all wrong 

First time I saw him he smiled at me 

And the first time I saw her she was beautiful 

Sixty-two plus forty-six equals one hundred and eight 

Possible years they'll live long to 

That's almost half of the rest of his life 

That's over half for her

Willie was shot once in his mind 

His cry out saved his life 

Second time through the heart 

The doctor pulled the bullet from inside 

He had a job to do, he thought 

That's his way of life 

To take that car and pick her up 

To be a man for her 

Broken down and cut in two 

She had been married for most her life 

Now she's finally free for awhile 

Long enough to see this man and what he means 

When he tells her that God in on his side 

No matter what, and will you marry me 

Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca 

They want to live a life 

I wish I had a million dollars 

So we could throw it all away 

I wish I had a million dollars 

So we could light it aflame 

I wish I had one million dollars 

So we could spend it every day 

I'm on the same side as you 

I'm just a little bit behind 

And please don't bring me down 

Please don't let me go 

I'm looking for a new kind of thing 

A place that makes my heart sing 

Another question answered from above 

Please don't let it worry you now 

Please don't let it worry you now 

I've seen inside your heart and soul 

It's beautifully jacketed 

An open hand and a mind to lend 

There's nothing more romantic 

Than a distant place behind your smile 

Tells my eyes that I am coming home 

Please don't bring me down 

Please don't let me go 

My heart is a worried thing 

Memories have planted 

Seeds of a field I now want to reap and sow 

Maybe when i'm sixty-two, maybe when i'm forty-six 

Maybe when i'm thirty-two maybe the next time I see you 

We will have our universe for the first time, again 

Rings around our sweet friendship 

Will tear up in into a run 

Galloping forever more until tomorrow is gone 

I deeply say to you now 

I deeply say to you now 

I deeply say to you now 

There's another question answered from above 

You're the kind of friend of mine I never had 

You're the kind of love I had that I never thought there was 

Saint saint saint saint Augustine 

Far far far away Georgie Koontz (?) 

We gotta stake this thing out 

We gotta laugh the whole day through 

We gotta live the way that we want to 

As long as God is willing, I am too 

And as long as you are here, I am too 

As long as he and she can forgive and love again and still love us too 

You take my heart and you give it to me 

You show me love i've never seen 

You take my heart and give it to me 

When Dylan sang Ramona in the taxi that night 

I knew it right away would either be hard or be right 

'Cause I'm not Ramona, and you didn't write that song 

'Cause you're not Dylan, and I know we really do get along 

Get along and get on with what it is you got to do 

Go on get along with whome'er you choose 

This is your life 

But if God is willing, then I'm willing too, oh 

I'll be in the front, back and side of you 

Just many happily waiting for you 

Saint saint saint saint saint Augustine 

Far away far way Georgie Koontz (?) 

You know what it is 

You know what it is you got to do 

A young little girl named Jennifer gave me a turquoise ring 

A native sentiment of joy love and peace, I thank you for this ring 

It's beautiful to me 

A lady future journalist gave to me a lucky sweater of white 

Stains she had since eighteen, amazing that she did that 

It would have been hard to do for me 

A man named John wrote a song for me to sing 

Also the most unbelievable flowers I have ever seen 

He is a very good man 

And he has been an even very good man to me 

I hope that one day that song I will sing 

Another love named Jennifer gives her care to me 

A radiant heart with holy power, she believed in me 

And with that gift I cry right now 

But a memory of her laughing kills the beast 

Another love I still love, a familiar face to me 

A standing arch above my heart I've never been to reach 

He's laid my head on the bed 

And told me Sweet, I'm not crazy like the others say 

No he's not crazy like me 

This is a four hour song 

And it will go on and on 

A moment in time traveling on even if it is too long 

I don't care 

I love to share 

I love to sing along 

I know you do too 

Feel the same way so come along 

Sing your song 

It's all that you have to do 

I'm looking for that kind of mind 

I never thought i'd find 

I'm looking for that kind of love 

I never thought was real 

I'm looking for your heart 

My dear are you 

Looking for me 

Please don't bring me down 

Please don't let me go 

With your love I have foothold 

I can carry on 

But please don't let me worry you now 

Please don't let me worry you now 

There's nothing i am saying 

That could ever be made wrong 

I love you, love you so 

I love you so strong 

Please remember your heart in me 

Please remember it's not anatomically correct 

Please know there's no boundary 

And if God is willing to protect 

Our love, a world of love 

I think you'd be willing too 

Where are you from 

And where are you going to 

We have so much to do 

Where you are going is 

Where you do come from 

And where i will be is with you 

We have so much to do 

We have so much to do 

We have so much to do 

Hurry, hurry, hurry let's go 

Hurray, hurray, things are gonna be okay 

Hurry, hurry let's go 

All them children are waiting 

It's time and they are ready 

We got so much to do 

And if God is willing 

We have got so much 

We have got so much
