The Engine Driver Lyrics

(written by: Colin Meloy)

Send "The Engine Driver" Ringtone to your Cell

I'm an engine driver
On a long run, on a long run
Would I work beside her
She's a long one, such a long one

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

I'm a country lineman
On a high line, on a high line
So will be my grandson
There are powerlines in our bloodlines

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

I'm a money lender
I have fortunes upon fortunes
Take my hand for tender
I am tortured, ever tortured

And if you don't love me let me go
And if you don't love me let me go

And I am a writer, writer of fictions
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
I am a writer, I am all that you have home
Home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones
My bones
My bones

(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go
(And if you don't love me let me go)
And if you don't love me let me go

The "I am who I am and you may take it or leave it" mentality at it's finest.

i meant to say *a high school crush that never materializes* ---sometimes i am dumb and cant type
clytaemnestra 29/04/2005 16:47:26
this song is so tragic...it like perfectly nails the feeling of high school that never materialize...you just get your adolescent heart broken...which reminds me why i hated high school

since i always correct mistakes, i have to fix mine. *picaresque* pardon the mispelling earlier, i'm only a pirate

one of my favourites on picturesque, the decemberists will never cease to amaze me

All times are in Greenwich Mean Time.
The time is now 02:52:52.
