Saint Dymphna Lyrics - Wine Dark Sea - Jolie Holland

Back when I was living in the Quarter 

You had just moved in with trouble's daughter 

I was insisting that I loved you better than her 

All of the crimes that I'd committed 

I left them to lie in the sun for a minute 

How could I bear to be a sinner in your sweet name? 

And what do you mean by that? 

Do you mean to break my heart? 

Do you mean to break my heart in two?

It was down on the cobblestones where I found you 

Way out on Rampart, by Toulouse. 

Come on upstairs, I'll tell you my story 

I'll sing you my song. 

You know that the cold ground was my bed last night 

Blanket of clouds, stars for my nightlight. 

And all that I had was a pocketful of prayers and unanswered dreams 

And what do you mean by that? 

Do you mean to break my heart? 

Do you mean to break my heart in two?

I'm calling on Dymphna to heal and protect us 

Remember your sisters down in this world below 

I've been in the trenches and I'm here to tell you 

It's a hard row to hoe 

Most of my heroes died in the gutter 

Johnson and Foster, McTell and Hurston 

I follow them down, and ride with the current that's pulling me home 

And what do you mean by that? 

Do you mean to break my heart? 

Do you mean to break my heart in two?
