life as it goes...

ray lamontagne... my new love

i lost all of my vanity - when i peered into the pool
ilost all of my innocence - when i fell in love with you
i never knew a man could fall so far until i landed here
where all of my wounds they turn into gold when i kissed your hair

now come to me hannah
hannah won't you to come on to me
and i'll lay down this bottle of wine - if you just be kind to me

ask her why she cries so loud - she will not say a word
eyes like ice and hands that shake - she takes what she deserves
to celebrate her emptiness - in a cold and lonely room
sweep the floors with your long flowered dress if you cannot find a broom

now come to me hannah
hannah won't you come on to me
and i'll lay down this bottle of wine- if you just be kind to me

she's got hair that flows right down - right down to the backs of her knees
her papa he was a preaching man - and the Lord is hard to please
so she comes down from the ozark hills to these very streets to roam
with a banjo and a bible and a fine tooth comb

now come to me hannah
hannah won't you come on to me
and i'll lay down this bottle of wine if you just be kind to me

now i'd walk one mile on just broken glass to fall down at your feet
ummm hannah you're the queen of the street

i climb the tree with my hannahlee - my intentions they were pure
oh the breeze did whip and i lost my grip - i tumbled towards the earth
well you never would guess who it was that stood below
His name i will never tell
but His eyes were clear
and His arms were strong
and He caught me as i fell

now come to me hannah
hannah won't you come on to me
and i'll lay down this bottle of wine - if you just be kind to me
now i'd walk one mile on just broken glass - to fall down at your feet
umm, hannah you're the queen of the street

the queen of the street
