In still water she lies down

Shaking in the press of sunlight

We roll into Lexington

As she shakes off a drop of daylight

Water beading up her chest

Bleeding down between her knees

Rivers in Kentucky flow

Between the bluegrass wavy seas

But Oh Marjorie

Twist the knige once more inside of me

Breathless with anticipation

Baited breathers set their hooks

Tuck their heads beneath the high grass

And lie and wait beside the brooks

But Oh, Marjorie

Sticks the knife in when I couldn't see

Dust me off and shut me down

And dream of where I haven't found

Close the door inside my heart

Stuck in the south Atlantic wind

I have hollow eyes

Haunting only to myself

Even so, I can't stop calling

This great big hollows in myself

I took the train from California

To the far side of the continent

Woke up in Kentucky

Where a wedding was about to end

I looked up at Anna

She turned back to look at me

It's best to kill the ones that matter

Render blind the ones who see

But Oh, Marjorie

Takes the blade and walks away from me

But Oh, Marjorie

Love like blood is pouring out of me

Oh, Marjorie

My heart won't stop bleeding over me

Oh I can't shut it in

It's got far to many doors to block the wind

Oh, I can't shut it in

It's got far too many doors to block the wind
