Lyrics

Historian

I recited all your lines
Repeated moments once or twice
Feed myself with words you've said
I've annexed your room and bed

She makes the coffee and she's a historian
She makes the coffee and she's a historian
She makes the coffee and she's a historian
She makes the coffee and she's a historian

Drive the lonely part of town
Can't tell if it's north or south
Pass the streets you only knew
From the poems you have accrued

She makes the coffee and she's a historian
She makes the coffee and she's a historian
She makes the coffee and she's a historian
She makes the coffee and she's a historian
