Louise

Oh Lou I do try and pray
Just never sure how to start
So I just closed my eyes
And I picture your face in the space of my heart
And Lou I do try and sleep
I'm just never sure when
Or if I'll ever wake up to this life
Ever wake up again

Louise, doesn't everyone long to be free?
Was it the mountains that pulled you
Or were you just pushing off me
Please Louise tell me cuz you seem to know
How does one decide then
To start a new life and
Just pick up and go

I still remember that night when you laid out my cards
And The Fool was reversed
Something seemed off when you nervously coughed
And I knew then that my fate had been cursed
But I always think of that time we slept out in the woods
And you said our minds they were one
One with all things we were like vibrating strings
God it was something so deep
But just not something that we could keep

Louise doesn't everyone long to be free
Was it the mountains that pulled you
Or were you just pushing off me
Please Louise tell me cuz you seem to know
How does one decide then
To start a new life
And just pick up and go
