Cleopatra歌词

[00:02.63]Cleopatra - The Lumineers
[00:11.97]I was Cleopatra I was young and an actress
[00:18.32]When you knelt by my mattress and asked for my hand
[00:24.60]But I was sad you asked it as I laid in a black dress
[00:31.12]With my father in a casket I had no plans
[00:43.69]And I left the footprints the mud stained on the carpet
[00:50.00]And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
[00:56.32]But I must admit it that I would marry you in an instant
[01:02.31]Damn your wife I'd be your mistress
[01:05.33]just to have you around
[01:08.90]But I was late for this late for that
[01:12.54]Late for the love of my life
[01:15.37]And when I die alone when I die alone
[01:19.15]When I die I'll be on time
[01:29.50]While the church discouraged
[01:32.78]any lust that burned within me
[01:35.62]Yes my flesh it was my currency but I held true
[01:42.26]So I drive a taxi and the traffic distracts me
[01:48.61]From the strangers in my backseat they remind me of you
[01:54.83]But I was late for this late for that
[01:58.44]Late for the love of my life
[02:01.28]And when I die alone when I die alone
[02:04.66]When I die I'll be on time
[02:09.40]And the only gifts from my Lord
[02:12.48]were a birth and a divorce
[02:17.27]But I've read this script and the costume fits
[02:20.94]so I'll play my part
[02:28.25]I was Cleopatra I was taller than the rafters
[02:34.66]But that's all in the past now gone with the wind
[02:40.83]Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
[02:47.25]It's a bed and a bathroom
[02:52.21]A place for the end
[02:56.91]I won't be late for this late for that
[03:00.57]Late for the love of my life
[03:03.46]And when I die alone when I die alone
[03:07.21]When I die I'll be on time
[03:10.17]
