Goodnight Irene Songtext
von Fred Karlin

You wake screaming as I wake to tears streaming down your face
We slept so tight and squeezed tighter but now most nights I wanna fight you
And I miss the mornings I′d wake in another bed
Next to bottles and cans and a sink half-full of cigarettes
The times that I'd forget I was chasing you

I cruise to yours as the rain hits the visor
And the shit hits the fan and I lay silent beside you
We sit in tears for what feels like years
As I think about the days when you were mine


You call a doctor or your father cos when I′m there you won't let your guard down
You've got Brooklyn or Rickie to talk with when you′re not with me
And I miss the nights that I′d sleep with a stranger
When the nights weren't just for fun but for the thrill and the danger
Of getting caught and keeping it from you

I cruise to yours as the rain hits the visor
And the shit hits the fan and I lay silent beside you
We sit in tears for what feels like years
As I think about the days when you were mine

I cruise to yours as the rain hits the visor
And the shit hits the fan and I lay silent beside you
We sit in tears for what feels like years
As I think about the days when you were mine

I cruise to yours as the rain hits the visor
And the shit hits the fan and I lay silent beside you
We sit in tears for what feels like years
As I think about the days when you were mine
