Half a person lyrics

Artist  : Patty griffin 
Song : Half a person
 

Call me morbid, call me pale 
I`ve spent six years on your trail 
Six long years 
On your trail 

Call me morbid, call me pale 
I`ve spent six years on your trail
Six full years of my life on your trail 

And if you have five seconds to spare
Then I`ll tell you the story of my life : 
Sixteen, clumsy and shy 
I went to London and I 
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A. 
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ? 
I like it here - can I stay ? 
Do you have a vacancy 
For a Back-scrubber?"

She was left behind, and sour 
And she wrote to me, equally dour 
She said : "In the days when you were 
Hopelessly poor 
I just liked you more..." 

And if you have five seconds to spare 
Then I`ll tell you the story of my life : 
Sixteen, clumsy and shy 
I went to London and I 
I booked myself in at the Y ... W.C.A. 
I said : "I like it here - can I stay ? 
I like it here - can I stay ? 
And do you have a vacancy
For a Back-scrubber ?"

Call me morbid, call me pale 
I`ve spent too long on your trail 
Far too long 
Chasing your tail 
Oh ...

And if you have five seconds to spare 
Then I`ll tell you the story of my life : 
Sixteen, clumsy and shy 
That`s the story of my life 
Sixteen, clumsy and shy 
The story of my life 
That`s the story of my life 
That`s the story of my life 
That`s the story of my life 
The story of my life 
That`s the story of my life 
That`s the story of my life 
That`s the story of my life 
That`s the story of my life 
That`s the story of my life 
That`s the story ...
