Missie how you let me down

Richard Thompson

Composed by: Richard Thompson
Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind races 
One more night of running my mind over lost embraces 
The steps you made when you walked away 
Still frozen in the ground 
Oh missie how you let me down 
Oh missie how you let me down 
Oh missie how you let me down 
And lies won't break my fall 
Lies won't break my fall 

Your food's still sitting there at the table where you used to be 
The shape of you is still in the bed there next to me 
Maybe I could find some trace of you to keep around 
Oh missie how you let me down 
Oh missie how you let me down 

For far too long you kept me waiting 
Reaching out into empty air 
Even now you'd never say it face to face 
That you really don't care 
And if you never liked pulling teeth 
Then why, why did you tie me in the dentist's chair 

Ah you left your mark on this old place, that you did 
I could stew in here like a pressure cooker and screw down the lid 
Or maybe I should just take a match 
And burn the whole thing to the ground 

Oh missie how you let me down 
Oh missie how you let me down 
Oh missie how you let me down 

Oh missie how you let me down 
Oh missie how you let me down 
Oh missie how you let me down 
And lies won't break my fall 
Lies won't break my fall
