The Robber And The Boy Lyrics by Molly Marlette

The Robber And The Boy

0

I was just waiting to meet a good friend when I saw him
A boy with a look and his eyes still hasn't forgotten
Something was sad about his crooked smile, oh it robbed him
I wasn't prepared for someone that I could not part with
He pulled up a chair, stayed for some time
Explained why he stared, believed in signs
And so I followed his lead
And so he followed me
To a spot on the shore in a bright yellow house that is haunted
As a resident there, it seems a heart must be forgotten
This boy will not need, he wills not to eat, and it robs him
He'll say I'm the same but let the smoke make his eyes harden
Pull up a chair, you show every time
That there's songs for your ears I believe in signs
And so I follow your lead
I hope you follow me
Oh, what if I told you, I meant every single word I wrote?
Oh, I'm frightened to touch the one thing I want
You could turn to stone
I was sitting alone at the place we first met when I saw him
A boy with a look in his eyes still hasn't forgotten
Something was sad about his crooked smile, oh it robbed him
I never prepared affections, I never too far gone
And so I followed his lead
And so he fails me
And so I follow your lead
I hope you follow me
