Great Expectations (’59 Sound Sessions)

[Verse 1] Mary, this station is playing every sad song I remember from when we were alive I heard and sung them all from inside of these walls In this prison cell, where we spent those nights And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her Licking young boys' blood from her claws And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb And my heart's like a wound [Chorus] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I expected as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Woke with my head unreasonably blue [Verse 2] Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life Better safe than making the party And I never had a good time I sat by my bedside with papers and poetry about Estella With great expectations [Chorus] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I expected as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Woke with my head unreasonably blue Unreasonable to you [Bridge] It's funny how the night moves Humming a song from 1962 [Chorus] I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Everybody leaves and I expected as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I'd expected as much from you
