Hip Hatchet
When I Sing For Strangers
The Poor ships that we sailed in those seas of sheets harbored in the passing safety of each others teeth white like lies that couldn't hurt clasping on my back don't forget me when you leave but don't let me hold you back But how could i forget your hair that's grown longer since you left I smell it still in the cotton waves of other women's beds The bodies I borrow for a night have never felt less right reminders of you as they glide into slumber by my sideHer face fits fine in the cinder of my hateful dirty palms I used to wash my hands at night before I'd sing you songs When i sing for strangers Letras de cancionesmy voice is weak and young I think of your house out in the woods and the words that you forced from your lungsBut how could i forget your hair that's grown longer since you left I smell it still in the cotton waves of other women's bedsThe bodies I borrow for a night have never felt less right reminders of you as they glide into slumber by my side
