Saint Cecilia and Me

from Broken Hearts & Bitter Ends by Shandy Lawson

/

lyrics

There’s a man there
With his dreams behind him
Of a girl he’ll never meet
There’s a kid on the steps
Who’s a bit upset
Over some game he’ll never beat
There’s lost dogs and crime scenes
And a kite stuck in a tree
It’s all broken hearts and bitter ends
For Saint Cecilia and me

There’s wounds that heal
And wounds that don’t
And stitches you can’t see
There’s scars within
And scars without
But they’re all the same to me
And the doctors say
They’ll patch me up
But I can’t afford their fee
It’s all broken hearts and bitter ends
For Saint Cecilia and me

‘Cilia’s got an epic poem
For every day of the week
She’s got the rhyme for every line
And bulletproof technique
And me, I’m just a writer
Who’s running out of ink
It’s all broken hearts and bitter ends
For Saint Cecilia and me

If bad luck was a painting
I’d be a masterpiece
It’s all broken hearts and bitter ends
For Saint Cecilia and me
