Knife In The Water - Promenade lyrics

If she's asleep it's for the best Cause she's been going on for days She's been babbling and talking nonsense And she can't see you through the haze Shut the door to her bedroom Please don't make a sound Cause she's hurting in a way That you can't wrap your arms around Hope it once was manifest It may have come and gone At least we saw it once And it wasn't lost on anyone Oh baby at the promenade Methamphetamine Makes this a beautiful town Where injury in the wilderness Across the hazards of tonight Won't bring her down Donna came here innocent But she left with inside sight She would never move her mouth again Just to keep her troubles tight Crystal Texas City And connection at the time Sold to slavery up the river For a penny to the dime Take a picture of Donna And the element of hell She's a bruise across the mattress Of a Beaumont motel Safelight through the transom Now she's barely awake But her eyes won't even open to let her see through the ache
