Artist/Band: Richard Thompson
Lyrics for Song: Missie How You Let Me Down
Lyrics for Album: Daring Adventures [1990]



Hailstones and a sickle moon and the north wind races

One more night of running my mind over lost embraces

The steps you made when you walked away

Still frozen in the ground



Oh, Missie, how you let me down

Oh, Missie, how you let me down

Oh, Missie, how you let me down

And lies won't break my fall

Lies won't break my fall



Your food's still sitting there at the table where you used to be

The shape of you is still in the bed there, next to me

Maybe I could find some trace of you to keep around



Oh, Missie, how you let me down

Oh, Missie, how you let me down



For far too long you kept me waiting

Reaching out into empty air

Even now you'd never say it face to face

That you really don't care



And if you never liked pulling teeth

Then why? Why did you tie me in the dentist's chair?



Ah, you left your mark on this old place, that you did

I could stew in here like a pressure cooker and screw down the lid

Or maybe I should just take a match

And burn the whole thing to the ground



Oh, Missie, how you let me down

Oh, Missie, how you let me down

Oh, Missie, how you let me down



Oh, Missie, how you let me down

Oh, Missie, how you let me down

Oh, Missie, how you let me down

And lies won't break my fall

Lies won't break my fall
