Just Give Me Time

Just Give Me Time - Okkervil River

This red haired girl of mine

Tore a pinecone from the pine to cut into her palm

Sing the song her sinking lover sung

I shut my eyes ripped the train from off the line

But a sudden gust of snow blew through a hole in my girl's clothes

Well my girl knows she's not all right and I don't mind

Just give me time just give me time oh baby baby give me time

Her stinging eyes

And her sixteen hour drive and our shared transparent rope

And our icy dive through hope

I'll memorize and I'll cut into my mind I can't believe it can be so

I won't believe that my girl froze well my girl knows

I'm coiled tight and green inside

Just give me time just give me time oh baby baby give me time

And that weight you hold it's getting light

And love I know you'll raise it easily up high

Just give it time just give it time

Baby Just give it time

Oh baby just give it time just give it time

Just give it time just give it time

Just give it time just give it time

Just give it time just give it time
