Decemberists Engine Driver Lyrics

Engine Driver Lyrics

I'm an engine driver

On a long run, on a long run

Would I work beside her

She's a long one, such a long one



And if you don't love me

Let me go

And if you don't love me

Let me go



I'm a county lineman

On a high line, on a high line

So will be my grandson

There are power lines in our bloodlines



And if you don't love me

Let me go

And if you don't love me

Let me go



And I am a writer, writer of fictions

I am the heart that you call home

And I've written pages upon pages

Trying to rid you from my bones

My bones, my bones



I'm a money lender

I have fortunes upon fortunes

Take my hand for tender

I am tortured, ever tortured



And if you don't love me

Let me go

And if you don't love me

Let me go



And I am a writer, writer of fictions

I am the heart that you call home

And I've written pages upon pages

Trying to rid you from my bones



I am a writer

I am all that you have home, home

And I've written pages upon pages

Trying to rid you from my bones

My bones, my bones



And if you don't love me

Let me go

And if you don't love me

Let me go



And if you don't love me

Let me go

And if you don't love me

Let me go
