letra de louise - beth amsel

town put up a brick fence
around the county apartments in my back yard
you can hide well enough
turn your back on what’s hard enough
and pray you don’t go mad

louise was a spectacle down at the town hall
the day they took her kids away
she spat and d-mned us all
blinded the bailiff who was called
and they drugged and dragged her away
dragged louise away

now i peer through the cracks in the mortar
and i smile at the doped face of the minister’s daughter
i hear louise in the dying of the day
with her spoon shovel in the dirt, shе’s been digging away

louise is planning her great еscape
louise is planning her great escape
louise is planning her escape

she stands in a thin cotton dress
that she swears was her mother’s best
but don’t look too hard at the seams
cause everyone has pride and shame enough
despite their lack of luxury to dream
do you dream, louise?
now i can’t recall what became
of the handsome man that loved her
and left her on the edge of sane
but she wears his suit coat like some disability
around the circular grounds of the county facility

i hear louise in the dying of the day
with her spoon shovel in the dirt till they take it away

louise is planning her great escape
louise is planning her great escape
louise is planning her escape

now i pick at the cracks in the mortar
and widen the whole gap towards the minister’s daughter
i will greet louise in the death of the day
with my hands muddied in the dirt
i have been digging away

i’ve been planning her great escape
i’ve been planning her great escape
i’ve been planning her escape
