Lyrics of I Live In The Room Above Her by The Gaslight Anthem
verse
I live in the room above her
And she doesn't know my name
But I'm afraid that if I see her
I will not see you again
Sometimes she passes by the window
Her skin is pearl and pale and ghost
And I hear someone crying sometimes
Like there was really something wrong, oh
chorus
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms
So come on, lay down in my arms
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
verse
I never see her watch the sunrise
I hear a record lightly play
Sometimes I think I hear some movement
Like something can't get away
Now there's a picture in a Bible
That I swear I've seen before
Where she was bathing on the rooftop
While David looked on, oh
chorus
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms
Lover, you will one day miss all my charms
So come on, lay down in my arms
Sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
chorus
I hear her singin', "Lay down in my arms
Oh, lover, you will one day miss all my charms
So come on, lay down in my arms
Oh, sleep, baby, sleep, the cruel morning is not very far"
outro
I live in the room above her
And I never make a sound
Except the matches for the candles
And the radio turned down
