Adam Cain - Amanda of (Olympia, WA) Lyrics

Your lips were ripe and your eyes went dark when I held you late last night
Oh Amanda of Olympia your breath is on my neck
We slept into the afternoon uneasy but so sweet
Oh Amanda did you hear me when I counted your last sheep

We bought a house in late July you swelled and ached and bloomed
Oh Amanda of Olympia you'd sleep in our son's room
We sang on anniversaries and stalled when they were through
Oh Amanda did you hear me lie that I knew no one but you

We lost our way in wintertime you lost me to the wind
Oh Amanda of Olympia you see our light has dimmed
The roses from the year before have faded into dust
Oh Amanda how I wish I didn't carry all your trust

I crept downstairs tied up the trash put a new bag in the can
Dragged the old one to the curbside suitcase in my left hand
I looked up at the top right room saw a faint bulb set alight
Oh Amanda did you know that I'd be leavin' here tonight

But I'm leavin' now
I'm leavin' now
I'm a long gone daddy couldn't you tell
