Ten Feet Tall
Echoes of Loneliness: Mark Lanegan's Tale of Sorrow and Redemption
Lyrics
I see they're comin'
I notice their arrival
Just tell me it ain't true
Plead with me that it's not true
How lonely sorrow, and I fall back to you
Expressing deep sorrow, and I return to you
One time or another
At some point in time
Like I want
Similar to my desires
She is alone, and I don't walk that tall
She is lonely, and I lack confidence or pride
Memories amounting, to nothin' I can't keep
Recollections adding up, but of no value to hold onto
Just as soon forgotten
Easily forgotten, not worth remembering
Hate is all, that her tears ever show
Hate is the only emotion her tears reveal
Saying sing, well come on black cat sing
Commanding to sing, urging a black cat to sing
Hate is gone, drippin' lies from the tongue
Hate has departed, spreading deceitful words
Demanding my all, well I don't walk that tall
Demanding everything from me, but I lack confidence
I see they're comin'
I notice their arrival (repeated)
Just tell me it ain't true
Plead with me that it's not true (repeated)
Head down in sorrow and I, stumble back to you
Head lowered in sorrow, and I clumsily return to you
One time or another
At some point in time (repeated)
You might find
You might discover
Hate is all, that her tears ever show
Hate is the only emotion her tears reveal (repeated)
Sayin' sing, well come on black cat sing
Saying sing, urging a black cat to sing
I don't walk that tall
I lack confidence or pride
I don't walk that tall
I lack confidence or pride (repeated)
