The Governess Lyrics - Pagans In Vegas - Metric

The Governess - Metric 

Who did you say you were? 

I didn't catch your name 

Falling down to earth 

Down from a higher plane 

Oh, it's been decades 

Say, what did you see? 

Oh, I've been so lonely 

Won't you keep me company? 

Do you remember me? 

We met out on the farm 

By the fire, you spoke to me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And held me in your arms 

The songs you played for me 

I long to understand 

All along the watchtower 

And castles made of sand 

When there was a wilderness, 

we wandered wild and free 

Guilt, she is the governess 

that guides me back to grief 

What if we were dumb enough to spend eternity 

Gathering the garbage washed up on the beach? 

Do you remember me? 

We spoke by telephone 

The bad connection had a meaning of its own 

Photos 

Of all the good and all the stupid shit I've done 

The worst was all for me 

Not hurting anyone 

When there was a wilderness, 

I wandered wild and free 

Guilt, she is the governess 

that guides me back to grief 

Wish that I was old enough to end the century 

Gather all the garbage washed up on the beach
