Alvera

Alvera Alvera locks of golden curls
I know I promised you the world
Wasn't long until I strayed left you mad and frayed
Not long 'til they took you away
So rest your troubled head on that crisp white linen set

Alvera Alvera I'm sorry for what I said
Let the cruel words rise up and drown out your pretty head
Alvera Alvera I'm sorry for what I choose
Can't take back the bitter cries of what Alvera knows

Escaped away down in the mine without a kiss or prayer
Face turning dark as all my cares
Should have heard the warning cry heard the warning call
Your mind turned in like a caved-in wall
So rest your troubled head on that crisp white linen set

Alvera Alvera I'm sorry for what I said
Let the cruel words rise up and drown out your pretty head
Alvera Alvera I'm sorry for what I choose
Can't take back the bitter cries of what Alvera knows

All these pills and potions they've got you hooked on to
Can't put my face in front of you
Lantern eyes all burned out left with darkened dreams
In place of the ones I couldn't keep
So rest your troubled head on that crisp white linen set

Alvera Alvera I'm sorry for what I said
Let the cruel words rise up and drown out your pretty head
Alvera Alvera I'm sorry for what I choose
Can't take back the bitter cries of what Alvera knows
Can't take back the bitter cries of what Alvera knows
Alvera Alvera
