Her Heart is a Graveyard

by Stovepipe's Caravan

/

about

A midwestern gothic breakup song.

lyrics

I got a fever this morning
Turns out it was love
But not the kind that I read of
Not the kind from above

And when she touches my shoulder
My stomach it turns
And when she kisses me softly
My Lips they do burn

Chorus:

this is not what I hoped for
or from a good dream
Just the stuff of my nightmares
Turned to reality

And my daddy did warn me
I recall what he said
“If her heart is a graveyard
Then yer love it is dead”


It was good in the beginning
At least i told myself that
Hand in hand by the seaside
and tippin’ my hat

But her smile was nothin’
But a pleasant disguise
Coverin’ up a soul that
I would come to despise

Chorus

Well I did learn a lesson
Yes I figured it out
That the feelings that spoil
Yes I can live without

And I rather die lonely
In a dusty old grave
Then be with somebody
Scaring my love away

Chorus
