I’ve Been The One Lyrics by Bill Callahan, Bonnie “Prince” Billy

Blind Date Party

0

[Verse]
I've been the one
Who has been frightened and almost borne away
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
How can I cry about something I can't see?
[Verse]
My friends all say she had her chance
Let's go shoot some pool
You know a fool is just a fool
And I've tried everything that whiskey cures
But the pain endures
[Verse]
Now I'm feeling that pain
I put my pride in my pocket
That's how I'll spend my loneliest days
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
[Bridge]
Don't know what to do
Hold the lamp above the rafters
These smoke-filled rooms will not replace her
[Verse]
And I've been the one
Who has been frightened and almost borne away
By the very thoughts that I feared yesterday
And it must be dust or smoke that's in my eyes
