Cleopatra(Acoustic Demo|Bonus Track) - The Lumineers
I was Cleopatra I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress
and asked for my hand
But I was sad you asked it
as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket
I had no plans
(yea)
And I left the footprints
the mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
But I must admit it
that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife
I'd be your mistress just to have you around
But I was late for thislate for that
late for the love of my life
And when I die alonewhen I die alone
when I die I'll be on time
(aye)
While the church discouraged
any lust that burned within me
Yes my fleshit was my currency
but I held true
When a man's dejected
well he can fight for your affections
or he can act like he never met you
and even go to the ground
But I was late for this
Late for that
Late for the love of my life
And when I die alone
When I die alone
When I die I'll be on time
(yea)
So I drive a taxi
and the traffic distracts me
from the strangers in my backseat
They remind me of you
But it's all a daydream
when it's you who's behind me
but you never recognize me
appraising you
And the only gifts from my Lord
were a birth and a divorce
but I've read this script
and the costume fits
so I play my part
And there are nights I wake up
to the sound of a door shut
and I search on the floor but
I find no tracks
And the nurse in white shoes
leads me back to my guestroom
it's a bed and a bathroom
and a place to relax
but I was late for this
late for that
late for the love of my life
When I die alone
When I die alone
When I die I'll be on time
(aye)
