Cleopatra
The Lumineers
G
GI was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my Dhand
But I was Gsad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no Dplans
G
GAnd I left the footprints, the mud Cstained on the Gcarpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left Dtown
But I Gmust admit it, that I would Cmarry you in an Ginstant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you Daround
But I was Glate for Dthis, Clate for Gthat, Clate for the Glove of my Dlife
And when I Gdie Dalone, when I Cdie Galone, when I Cdie I'll Gbe on Dtime
G
While the Gchurch discouraged, any Clust that burned within Gme
Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held Dtrue
So I Gdrive a taxi, and the Ctraffic Gdistracts me
From the Cstrangers in my Gbackseat, they remind me Dof you
But I was Glate for Dthis, Clate for Gthat, Clate for the Glove of my Dlife
And when I Gdie Dalone, when I Cdie Galone, when I Cdie I'll Gbe on Dtime
And the Emonly gifts from my GLord were a Cbirth Dand a Emdivorce
But I've Gread this script and the Emcostume fits, Cso I'll Dplay my Gpart
G
I was GCleopatra, I was Ctaller than the Grafters
But that's all in the past now, gone with the Dwind
Now a Gnurse in white shoes Cleads me back to my Gguestroom
It's a Cbed and a Gbathroom
And a place for the Dend
I won't be Glate for Dthis, Clate for Gthat, Clate for the Glove of my Dlife
And when I Gdie Dalone, when I Cdie Galone, when I Cdie I'll Gbe on Dtime
