Langhorne Slim - Colette Lyrics

All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend
You came along just then
You gave me crazy love And you whispered
you've got a bottle and nobody that you're missing
I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
You said don't get excited but take cover
We stepped into the light
Took pictures of each other
Some were in black and white
The others were in color

Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Well it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do


All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend
You came along just then
You gave me crazy love And you whispered
you've got a bottle and nobody that you're missing
I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
You said don't get excited but take cover
We stepped into the light
Took pictures of each other
Some were in black and white
The others were in color

Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Well it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do

Here she comes
Oh!
Here she comes

Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Now it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do
