J. Tillman - Cecille, My Love lyrics

Oh, Cecille my love How can it be That one so small Should carry me When I am weak? Oh, Cecille my love The river holds the gun I used to k** the one Who willed us apart For so long Your father's house I have burned down I saved the letters you wrote But could not send I saved the one you wrote me Of your d**h There's a place On the hill Where you and I shall dwell It's by the sea The grave I made So we can rest in peace Oh, Cecille my love The river has washed up The only way I see you soon Father, forgive me for what I do
