Those Three Days - Lucinda Williams

You say there’s always gonna be this thing

Between us days are filled with dreams

Scorpions crawl across my screen

Make their home beneath my skin

Underneath my dress stick their tongues

Bite through the flesh down to the bone

And I have been so fuckin' alone

Since those three days

Did you only want me for those three days?

Did you only need me for those three days?

Did you love me forever

Just for those three days?

You built a nest inside my soul

You rest your head on leaves of gold

You managed to crawl inside my brain

You found a hole and in you came

You sleep like a baby breathing

Comfortably between truth and pain

But the truth is nothing’s been the same

Since those three days

Did you only want me for those three days?

Did you only need me for those three days?

Did you love me forever

Just for those three days?

You say there’s always gonna be this thing

Between us days are filled with dreams

Scorpions crawl across my screen

Make their home beneath my skin

Underneath my dress stick their tongues

Bite through the flesh down to the bone

And I have been so fuckin' alone

You built a nest inside my soul

You rest your head on leaves of gold

You managed to crawl inside my brain

You found a hole and in you came

You sleep like a baby breathing

Comfortably between truth and pain

But the truth is nothing’s been the same

Since those three days

Did you only want me for those three days?

Did you only need me for those three days?

Did you love me forever

Just for those three days, baby?

Did you only want me for those three days?

Did you only need me for those three days?

Did you love me forever

Just for those three days?

For those three days

For those three days
