Artist/Band: The Gaslight Anthem
Lyrics for Song: The Spirit Of Jazz
Lyrics for Album: American Slang [2010]



The cool is dead, baby, go on and sleep

Rest your weary head and love a better me

And in the morning we'll start over again

That's how they do it up on the screen



See, me and my baby, we would dance all night

But I don't know the steps in my baby's time

To do it like they do it for the girls uptown

I heard they light 'em up like the blues



So I'm waiting

And she's waiting

For us to remember



And was I good to you, the wife of my youth?

Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do

So I will wait on the edges inbetween

These New York streets where you and I would meet



For twenty-nine years we loved that line

And I would take it easy if I had your mind

But I'm a cannonball to a house on fire

And you're slow like Motown soul



So what now, lover, with your long black hair?

If I cut you open, baby, I can repair

And bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue

And I'm the only one 'round here



And I'm waiting

And she's waiting

For us to recover



So was I good to you, the wife of my youth?

Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do

So I will wait on the edges inbetween

These New York streets where you and I would meet



And only I can heal your wounds

Only I can heal your wounds

When you can't go on

When you can't go on

When you can't go on anymore



Was I good to you, the wife of my youth?

Not another soul could love you like my--



Was I good to you, the wife of my youth?

Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do

So I will wait on the edges inbetween

I will wait on the edges inbetween

And I will wait on the edges inbetween these New York streets

On all these New York streets where you and I would meet
