The Gaslight Anthem - Great Expectations (Acoustic)

Mary this station is playing every sad song
I remember like we were alive
I heard it Sunday morn' from inside of these walls
In a prison cell where we spent those nights
And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her
Licking young boys' blood from her claws
And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew
Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb
My heart's like a wound
And I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves so why why wouldn't you
Mary I worried and stalled every night of my life
Better safe than making the party
And I never had a good time I sat by my bedside
With papers and poetry about Estella
With great expectations
We had the greatest of expectations
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves so why why wouldn't you
It's funny how the night moves
Humming a song from 1962
We were always waiting
We were always waiting
We were always waiting for something to happen
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife
Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you
I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life
Everybody leaves and why why wouldn't you
