Ventura - Lucinda Williams
Decided I’m gonna make myself A little something to eat Get a can down off the shelf Maybe a little something sweet Haven’t spoken to no one Haven’t been in the mood Pour some soup, get a spoon and Stir it up real good I go out with a friend Maybe a little music might […]
You don’t have to prove Your manhood to me constantly I know you’re the man can’t you see I love you Righteously Why you wanna dis me After the way you been kissin’ me After those pretty things you say And the love we made today When you run your hand All up and run […]
Baby, see how I been living Velvet curtains on the windows to Keep the bright and unforgiving Light from shining through Baby, I remember all the things we did When we slept together In the blue behind your eyelids Baby, sweet baby Traced your scent though the gloom ‘Til I found these purple flowers I […]
