James McMurtry
Cutter
I don't know what to say to youI shouldn't judge, but I often doWhen you gonna come back homeWhy'd you leave me all aloneI cut myself sharp and deepIt's the only thing that lets me sleepTakes the pain from off my faceAnd puts it in one tiny spaceWhere I can keep it down out of sightWay off to the sideIt won't come at me on a cold dark nightThe red ridges I can't hideThey're on the outsideI don't know what to say to youI'm pretty sure, you wouldn't want me toDespite conviction, I still lack proofAs the rain beats down on the motel roofAnd I miss those long hot summer daysWhen I could keep that beast at bayLong shadows bring it back to lifeTill it sees its reflection in a short sharp knifeLetras de cancionesThen I can keep it down out of sightWay off to the sideIt won't come at me on a cold dark nightThe red ridges I can't hideThey're on the outsideI remember all my giftsIn the early hours when the panic liftsThoughts go racing round and roundAnd only daylight slows 'em downI miss my dog from years agoWhere he went, I still don't knowWhiskey and coffee while I burn my toastAnd build a cage for all my ghostsSo I can keep'em down out of sightWay off to the sideThey won't come at me on a cold dark nightThe red ridges I can't hideBut they're on the outsideI don't know what to say to youI shouldn't judge, but I often do
