Lyrics

Unkind

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I know the best years of my life are ahead

You don't have to tell me again and again

The paint's peeling off of my sweet smiling face

And some day soon all sweetness will be erased

I met you in Texas, I left you in Rome

I held your hand through an Irish storm

I know I've been unkind to you

And I can't say this chapter is through

My youth, it keeps me cold

I've married another and bore him a son

And now I run through the world trying to be made undone

I just want for someone to swallow me whole

And then I'll rise up and I'll ride

On a chariot

I'm crazy don't you know

Feather horses, cardboard and coal

And now I'm saving up my soul

To barter later so I can get back home

To barter later so I can make it home

I loved you in Texas, I hated you in Rome

I tried so hard to care in an Irish storm

I know I'll never be kind to you

So I best be going

You take care of you
