Amelia
Well I heard that in Jackson
They dance so slow down there
But all I can recall is your dress
And the scent of your auburn hair
And you said that I have no reason to go home
And I can tell by the look I'm your eyes
You won't let me leave alone
And they say that there's no room in heaven
For west end girls and east end boys like me
Well I promise not to scream
If you're trying to sleep
I'll bite my tongue like it's an art
If you promise not to leave
While I'm trying to keep
Myself together in the dark
Well I heard that back home
You're not sleeping well at all
You're counting down the days until the leaves drop off next fall
And your friends say you have no reason to stay home
And you can tell by the look in their eyes
They won't let you grieve alone
And they say that there's no room in heaven
For west end girls and east end boys like me
Well I promise not to scream
If you're trying to sleep
I'll bite my tongue like it's an art
If you promise not to leave
While I'm trying to keep
Myself together in the dark
Well I promise not to scream if you're trying to sleep
If you promise not to leave while I'm trying to keep
Well I heard that in Jackson
They dance so slow down there
But all I can recall is the dress that your mother let you wear
They dance so slow down there
But all I can recall is your dress
And the scent of your auburn hair
And you said that I have no reason to go home
And I can tell by the look I'm your eyes
You won't let me leave alone
And they say that there's no room in heaven
For west end girls and east end boys like me
Well I promise not to scream
If you're trying to sleep
I'll bite my tongue like it's an art
If you promise not to leave
While I'm trying to keep
Myself together in the dark
Well I heard that back home
You're not sleeping well at all
You're counting down the days until the leaves drop off next fall
And your friends say you have no reason to stay home
And you can tell by the look in their eyes
They won't let you grieve alone
And they say that there's no room in heaven
For west end girls and east end boys like me
Well I promise not to scream
If you're trying to sleep
I'll bite my tongue like it's an art
If you promise not to leave
While I'm trying to keep
Myself together in the dark
Well I promise not to scream if you're trying to sleep
If you promise not to leave while I'm trying to keep
Well I heard that in Jackson
They dance so slow down there
But all I can recall is the dress that your mother let you wear
