Martha Wainwright

I'm so unhappy, what'll I do I long for sombody who, Will sympathize with me; Im growing so tired of living alone, I lie awake all night and cry Nobody loves me that's why. All by myself in the morning All by myself in the night I sit alone in a cosy Morris c...

Where've you been these days? I thought I saw you underneath the vines I look for you there Makes more sense than looking to the sky I see they've cut your hair and grown between your eyes I hope your body doesn't mind the cold It always preferred the s...

Oh, every morning I wake up Happy for the first time I know, I know, I know, I know, I know It's in vain because you're in pain most of the time Oh baby, I wanna have your baby And I know it's a crazy bad time Falling in love with you, I know, I know I...

Got your hand up all in my shirt And you know that it hurts Ball & chain My ball & chain Crossing the street you look so fine Making up everything that's in my mind Ball & chain Ball & chain You are the same with your balls & your...

There are days when the cage doesn't seem To open very wide at all There are others that would shock The most indiscriminate lovers of all My heart was made For bleeding all over you You got a girlfriend and I can only talk about her For so very long...

Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired Overfired And I've been poked & stoked It's all smoke, there's no more fire Only desire For you, whoever you are For you, whoever you are You...

Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired Overfired And I've been poked & stoked It's all smoke, there's no more fire Only desire For you, whoever you are For you, whoever you are You...

Bring back my heart You can't have it It is mine You can't have it I know I said For you to take it But you don't use it And I got none in return So find it amongst All the other broken ones It's probably somewhere near the top When we last hooked...

I really like the makeup sex It's the only kind I ever get And when I'm gazing longingly in your eyes It's not for you but the self I left behind Can you believe it Can you believe it Can you believe it felt so wrong? Can you believe it Can you believ...

You're comin' tonight To my home town I've been to yours many times before And it's always been a thrill You'll stay in a hotel Or at friends near by We haven't spent the night together in this town Since nineteen seventy nine Not such a long time I...

Summer comes and rain falls away But the very next day it seems The snow comes to stay And you too will go just like the dog days do I'll put on my hat, my gloves, my scarf To keep the cold apart But there are no hats, gloves, scarves for the heart Ju...

I do most everything wrong Even on the day you were born My husband's been lyin' and cheatin' I turned my cheek and reason I change my tune every day There is one thing I want you to be That is smarter than me If things, they don't seem right, Open yo...

These are not my people, I should never have come here The chick with a dick and the gift for the gab I know a place, I've seen the face And I'll take the coast from factory to factory Ah These night's that I've been on the road Through my window the mo...

Far away In some lovely way I hear your call Whatever happened to them all? Whatever happened to us all? I know that we've never met before But that was then, and now I need you more Is someone here keeping the score? Is there only dying at your door?...

Get in the car We're late for the gig But don't go too fast It's been snowing since 10am And we'll never be this free again Crossin' the bridge Over the Gatineau To the side that I know Where the light becomes strange We'll never be this free again...

Cop a ride or catch a feel I won't be late, I won't decline your invite tonight this starry cold night It's six o'clock get up the block don't be scared don't be shocked I'll be there tonight on yours & mine's night I'm yours and mine tonight And...

There was that song you wrote About the king who went broke It was the story of you From the point of view of your death bed blues And you will never believe in me again Until that final day when you You sign, you sign out in that questionable way You...

I am sorry I yelled at you 'Bout the baby's clothes 'Bout the car on fire About love The seven year itch Is quite a bitch it's true But believe me, I don't lie I love you And we can make it If you don't break it It's up to you When the fire gets...

I don't mind being left behind I no longer care where the sound is coming from I can't hear the tears in your eyes I am always, always in disguise I wanna make an arrest And stop time and this test And lie down in the road And you're still at home And...

I can hardly move And I sure can't groove And I can hardly see why I'm so afraid And the days are long I can't get rid of what's wrong It's plain to see But the problem is, is, is in me I wish I were A singer A dancer Dancing for your love Am I so...

In the middle of the night Comes a knockin' at my door There's a limousine outside And I know who it's for And I've heard it being read And I heard it being said Oh that the comfort in your head And I wonder if it doesn't create A sense of shame In...

Remember when you said we'd marry The wilder shores of love The tide, it changes fast Ah when you're fast it never lasts I cannot read between your lines You cannot make me read your tiny mind Oh who's got the time Oh you'd go blind Jesus and Mary A...

Sometimes I feel like there is no one No one at all That life is a myth And I won't be missed When I'm gone But they say that you are no one Without the people Who love and know you around And sometimes I feel like my Dad For leaving her sad and alo...

Leave behind the dog Leave behind the God Believe me when I say There's a danger comin' our way It's been lovely travellin' this way Thanks to the sun, the moon, the night and the day But the sea can no longer wait The levy's about to break There's a...

Love is a stranger in an open car To tempt you in and drive you far away I said love is a stranger in an open car To tempt you in and drive you far away Well love, love, love is a dangerous drug You have to receive it But you still can't get enough of t...

What, what would I do If I can't have you If I can't have you What, what If I can't have you Here, here I am On this black river Dotted in time And the mangroves They grow Like our love Stronger than the time spent Down in the valley below Take...

I'm at the controls in the big old chair Nothing has changed except the atmosphere High on the hill people stand still Watching and pointing and screaming Turn on the radio We're approaching you fast We're coming at last On the radio star We've trave...

Emily tries but misunderstands She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams Till tomorrow There is no other day Let's try it another way You'll lose your mind and play Free games for May See Emily play Soon after dark Emily cries Gazing through...

And the children's eyes they turn As I walk away I am becoming their prey And the firelight it burns in your eyes There are times you despise me Oh you criticize me I have lost so many friends I have gained so many memories I can change the colors o...

Some make the changes in the daylight Others make the changes in the night Some only read the rainbows Others only read the clouds in the sky I don't want to be the one to tell you that I don't love the way I used to Maybe I should leave tomorrow And...

Vous avez parcouru le monde Vous croyiez n'avoir rien trouvé Et soudain une vallée S'offre à vous pour la paix profonde Vous aviez dépensé vos rêves Au hasard des bonheurs volés Et soudain une vallée Où la voix d'un ami s'élève Marchant sous un nuage Perdus...

You came over And we, we made out on my tiny couch We did not make love But decided to make trust You played the captain And I will, I will never understand Why you love the beef heart More than you could love the common man You never made it You ne...

My brother, my sister, my lover, my maker Did someone here fake it, someone here fate it Did someone here take it, someone here make it Someone here steal it, someone here lease it It's under the table where we used to take it The briar, the bracken, the...

This This life is boring This This life right now is snoring But that's all right That's okay It's still worth living When it is not I got the gun for my head And I want to break free instead But I could never pull the trigger I get too scared So...

You, you're just like Robin Hood, Waiting in the woods. You, you're just like Robin Hood, A little bit bad, And a little big good. Wheeling and dealing and stealing, A young girl's heart. Talking for shocking and making believe, You're smart. Stop t...

We had visions in the night I was scared and you held me tight It was like we were in black and white As clear as day, as dark as night And the truth became a lie There was no longer peace of mind Just fear of the unknown and the unkind And then when...

I'm not such a good lover I'm a better talker So when you touch me there I'm scared that you'll see Not the way that I don't love you But the way that I don't love myself And there are things these days That can help you through a phase Like food &amp...

When the day is short And the nights are long It's a different world Where the rules are wrong And I, I will go home with who Whoever is sure Are you sure? And I don't care if you If you love me tomorrow just Love me tonight & I I will be all r...

Home no more home to me, whither must I wander? Hunger my driver, I go where I must Cold blows the winter wind over hill and heather: Thick drives the rain and my roof is in the dust Loved of wise men was the shade of my roof-tree The true word of welcom...

Left the pain before the dawn She never thought it would or could be easy Been inclined to carry on Hold my hard head And watch you walk out on me See the tears one by one They fall down my hard head Forever Forevermore Fall around into the ground D...
