Mademoiselle X Writes a Letter Home

I drowned the day I learned to swim
I guess that's just the ocean's whim
My scoundrel's soul it will divide
By the years of this mistaken life

Oh, no, no, never
Oh, oh, no, never, no more

I was born on the day I died
An infant's crib and a grave beside
When the reaper comes I'll pack my things
And on the ride he will teach me to sing

Oh, no, no, never
Oh, oh, no, never, no more

The prairies, they will stroke our skin
And everything will all begin
Until then I am a stone of flesh
Or a wall without pictures hung on it

Oh, no, never,
Oh, oh, no, never, no more

I wish I thought I was deceased
My heart would slip beneath the crease
Of this wrinkled gown they make me wear
Through the countless hours of the sittin' and the starin'
