Tensaw - Ragtime Lament Lyrics

Don't you know I'm standing here wondering where you're at
I'm sure that you're leaving I'm not sure you're coming back
Let me give you one more reason to stay right here and fight
As long as we do there will be no end in sight

I've been passing under ladders
And crossing black cats
Everywhere I look the mirrors are cracked
I've got the high times bad times living with the ragtime blues

I give you everything I have and you only want more
I look out the window and you go out the door
If it weren't for bad luck I wouldn't have a thing
If you'd be my queen i'm sure i could be king

I've been passing under ladders
And crossing black cats
Everywhere I look the mirrors are cracked
I've got the high times bad times living with the ragtime blues

I keep waiting for my luck to change
I find myself calling your name
I keep reading the letter you wrote
The words so thick they're stuck in my throat
