Lyrics

Lucinda on the Stereo
Tamara Grigsby

You use to read me Grapes of Wrath
and wrap the vines round my head
But you could read me more than that
You felt the drops that I bled

I knew fear like the back of my hand
and the scars on my cheek
The kind that sneaks up in a strangling hold
and leaves you feeling weak

Lying naked on the bedroom floor
You would get me so stoned
Lucinda blaring on the stereo

An old hotel and an empty suitcase
was where I felt at home
You took my hand and you gave me a place
where I was safe to go

We went places that I never been
A crooked path in the dark
Through the worst and back again
You held me close in your arms

Lying naked on the bedroom floor
You would get me so stoned
Lucinda blaring on the stereo

Soaring up above the clouds
Over and beyond the here and now
I see drops of love trickle down
Soaring.........................

Life is still
now that you're not around
Flowers scattered on your grave
You don't know love 'til it slips through your hands
and washes away
I lost you now, and it's all bittersweet
Time passes along
I think of you and I know I believe
That your love made me strong

Lying naked on the bedroom floor
and I can't let you go
Lucinda blaring on the stereo

Lying naked on the bedroom floor
and I can't let you go
Lucinda blaring on the stereo
