Those Three Days

You say there's always gonna be this thing Between us days are filled with dreams Scorpions crawl across my screen Make their home beneath my skin Underneath my dress stick their tongues Bite through the flesh down to the bone And I have been so fuckin' alone Since those three days [Chorus] Did you only want me for those three days? Did you only need me for those three days? Did you love me forever Just for those three days? You built a nest inside my soul You rest your head on leaves of gold You managed to crawl inside my brain You found a hole and in you came You sleep like a baby breathing Comfortably between truth and pain But the truth is nothing's been the same Since those three days [Chorus] You say there's always gonna be this thing Between us days are filled with dreams Scorpions crawl across my screen Make their home beneath my skin Underneath my dress stick their tongues Bite through the flesh down to the bone And I have been so fuckin' alone You built a nest inside my soul You rest your head on leaves of gold You managed to crawl inside my brain You found a hole and in you came You sleep like a baby breathing Comfortably between truth and pain But the truth is nothing's been the same Since those three days [Chorus: x2] For those three days For those three days --- Those Three Days - Lucinda Williams
