Ivy Part Two Video (MV)

She was 15 I was 20
She was crazy I had no money
Her daddy took us to a cabin
In west virginia
Made us promise no Leonard Cohen
Bad for depression
Said use protection

We made love on the treehouse floor
I barely remember anymore
Ivy
Ivy
Ivy
Man she loved me
Back when I had nothing
Nothing

And we were free
She wanted to marry
I kept bringing in others
To share our bed
Weekends abrasion all red
Taste and sounds in our heads
Never really leave
They never really leave

Her brother shot hisself
She called left a message
Didn't sound like anyone I knew
It was years before someone told me but
She was dead by then too
It didn't sound like her
It didn't sound like her

And I was going to kill the guy that hurt her
A wellbeloved guy, I was making plans by day
To fly by night
But it passed on, maybe he did too
My brother died
Natalie and Ivy turned on me
Went with other guys and their knives

I called her dad to warn him
She's gone over that edge
He said she just lies
She only lies but the blood
And cuts in her thighs
Ivy
Ivy
She loved me really did love me
We were hippies I just kept bringing more people
Into our bed

And she died, our lovers turned from hippie to redneck
Or just disappeared
My reputation never did clear
So called friends gone for good
And I remember her shaven, fresh
Body Gaugin like fruit of the vine
Still in my head
Both of them all these years

All these years
Ivy
