Lyrics Donnie Iris – I Lie Down

It’s been 24 months
Since you left our house
24 months Friday past
54 months

I wake up in the morning
Lying to my coffee
Running out of reasons
Trying to get your smell of me

By midday I’ll feel pretty good
Feels like it’s over
Feels like I think you think I should
Yeah, I’m meeting new friends
Eating new food
Reading new books
Subscribing to a new groove

But when I lie down
(I lie down)
Feels like the world’s upon my shoulders
(I lie down)
Yeah I lie down
A little more worn
A little older
(I lie down)
‘Cause when I lie down
Then it’s just you and me
(I lie down)
‘Cause I lie down

How do ya kill the ghost
When the ghost don’t bleed?
She hangs out in my bed
She often needles me
Screaming for attention
In the middle of the night
Just won’t let me forget her
Stalkin’ me till dawns light

Woman is as false
As a feather in the wind
Blowin’ in the breeze
The original sin
Forget she’s there
And she’ll tickle your nose
Gentle as the daybreak
Smellin’ like a rose
