Keepsake Lyrics

It's been thirty-one years Since she's been in your arms But don't worry about Mama Mama's got a good heart And I'm not looking for your love I'm only sniffing out blood Just a little taste of where I came from And at the bottom of this river Is where I put you down to lay So I can live with it And in my heart there are these waters Where I put you down to lay While I learn to live with it Until I'm free And it's been all my life I've been wondering on the inside What we could've had If you'd had a part in my life And there were children involved And they were brothers to me [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/keepsake-lyrics-the-gaslight-anthem.html ] Even if we never got to meet And at the bottom of this river Is where I put you down to lay So I can live with it And in my heart there are these waters Where I put you down to lay While I learn to live with it Until I'm Free at last from this shadow that hangs Surely you wonder sometimes And I'm sure you all sympathize Just what a man's to become, just like his daddy's done I just want to love someone Who has the same blood And at the bottom of this river Is where I put you down to lay So I can live with it And in my heart there are these waters Where I put you down to lay While I learn to live with it Keepsake Until I'm free
