| Jolie Holland – Damn Shame Lyrics | 3 years ago |
|
It's about the difficulty of a long-distance relationship. > I looked for me a love > The best one I could find > He got himself a ticket > On an international flight > Oh it’s nothing > But a goddamn shame The singer is in San Francisco, maybe on her way back from SFO, or maybe not. But regardless, without her lover, she finds the place depressing. > The smell of burnt exhaust > Drifts into the *BART* > It’s midnight in California > It’s high noon where you are > Motorcycles and booze > Dirty old perfume > Oh it’s nothing > But a goddamn shame But she isn't able to travel to her lover yet. > I tried to go to sleep > In my haunted little room > The shadows are churning > In the passage of the moon > It’d break my heart to tell you > I couldn’t come so soon During the day, she can see that it makes sense for her lover to be apart from her. But during the night, she is just unhappy to be apart. > Tell me one more time > Why you went away > It makes a little sense > In the light of day > When evening comes around > All my senses fly away > Oh it’s nothing > But a goddamn shame |
