all swear about murder (demo)

lyrics

i was all swear about your demise
shed not a tear for all your lies
they put me in chains and on the stand
i told the tale 'bout your demands
'bout what you took from me
my ransomed heart
i was all swear about your timely end
but never said a word about our bed

you were just standing there in a shadow of blue
a chord in one hand my heart to undo
you were a cipher a mistress code
you were a wind-talker in melody clothed
& we sang all night
& rested the day
you were just standing there but i heard you croon
a swan you sang to me your secret tune

girls are tougher than boys i know
and i wish you were a girl
because you are a woman
you are a siren
and i had neither wax nor string
i sailed to near
your song called me
your song called me
your song called me down

it was a tryst it was a torrid whirlwind
but all good things baby must find their end
you had your études your ivory keys
i had my six-string down on my knees
i play the blues
you play for you
it was a tryst it was too facile
i was all swear about blue gun steel
