lyrics

bury me in the water
the <3 is a lonely hunter
and you know i'm yr only daughter
bury me in the water

could ya meet me at the station?
you know that city drives me crazy
and i've been feeling mighty vacant
could ya meet me at the station?

and if you stick around a little longer
could you tell me 'bout yr time?
was it hard to keep your tape collection
when you're coming all the time?
and livin' where you're livin'
it's a land haunted by Christ
in yr mind.

bury me in the water
the <3 is a lonely hunter
and you know i'm yr only daughter
bury me in the water

if i show up late for dinner
i hope that you would start w/o me
'cause i just wanna be a sinner
if i show up late for dinnre

and if you stick around a little longer
could you tell me 'bout yr time?
was it hard to keep yr tape collectoin
when you're moving all the time
and livni' where yr livin'
it's a land haunted by Christ
in yr mind.

and i've been feeling mighty pretty in my hospital bed.
couldya meet me in the city with some birds in my head?
and i ask the good lord to take me instead
(me instead)
