The Gaslight Anthem - Blue Dahila lyrics

What a hot and sultry summer, The steam just slides up off them streets You gotta stay inside and wait for the night, And then come on over and see me There's a poetry about these streets, It just slips from your skin and goes right underneath And mama always knew I'd meet a girl like you, But me, I never believed Cause I've been so lonely I can't imagine that kind of sympathy [x2] Where'd you get them scars? How blue is your heart? Is it sad enough to break? She said, "it's sad enough to break" How long was your life? Was it cold and strange like mine? Are you man enough to lay here? She said, "I'm man enough my baby, come see about me" I had a dream about you once, and I could barely see your form And I met you between the wax and the needle, In the words of my favorite song Your black hair was like a raven with your tan skin on the beach Your backdrop were the auroras and my sidekick was all this grief And I've been so low down, I'm almost level with the ground Where'd you get them scars? How blue is your heart? Is it sad enough to break? She said, "it's sad enough to break" How long was your life? Was it cold and strange like mine? Are you man enough to lay here? She said, "I'm man enough my baby, come see about me" Did they take you to the carnival to get locked up on a ride? Me, I got caught up with the fortune tellers And the ladies with the sleepy eyes It took years my baby just to come clean, Every streetlight a reminder And all those apologies And the night was lonely next to me Even the night was lonely next to me Where'd you get them scars? How blue is your heart? Is it sad enough to break? She said, "it's sad enough to break" How long was your life? Was it cold and strange like mine? Are you man enough to lay here? She said, "I'm man enough my baby, come see about me" Come see about me, ah-ah Come see about me, Come see about me, Come see about me, ah-ah Come see about me, ah-ah Whenever you're lonely
