Lyrics

What I'd give to be you for an hour or two

oh tell me a story of fortune and glory things I

never knew for I am the hungry and I am the

poor I've got one foot outside where the

world is alive and the other foot nailed to

the floor but it's always the one with the

terrible past who surprises me most

who puts himself last - five nights in hell and

a forty day fast I remember her well tho

I don't know her name her touch was a

river so cold made me shiver and shake with

disdain and I'll never know why you chose me to

haunt but I'll say what I can hoping you'll under-

stand that it's not you I want.
