Broken Bottle

if i could reveal what i feel for you

and mark my words with a gentle kiss

like saint george, i'd slay the dragon

just to find i'd lost

from outside these windows, there's walls between us

and outside, is outside, and that's where i'll be

i'll be wrapped in the morning dew

just to find you gone

so pour me a drink from the broken bottle

and fill my glass with the dirty water

what i've lost is gone, what i've gained has no name

and i'll take my leave once more

ah, j'taime mon amour, ah, j'taime mon amour

fools for love in any language

sometimes get burned by the heat of beauty

just to find she's gone

my love is a scar that i wear for you

like a crown of thorns, like a bad tattoo

i wear sin like a ring of beauty

just to find you've gone

"Broken Bottle" Alejandro Escovedo
