The Nameless

Cathy Davey


In the day I count the hours
And in the night I count days
And when I wake I count the flowers
That grow wild around your grave

And so we'd walk this town forever
And then we'd run toward the bay
And would I were a braver woman
I'd gladly sink beneath your wave

My heart denied what he would call me
The reason why I cannot tell
But you would call me nameless
For this I know, I know full well

My heart denied what he would call me
The reason why I cannot tell
But you would call me nameless
For this I know, I know full well

And in the day we'd count the hours
And in the night we'd count the ghosts
And you would call me nameless
You'd call me nameless
Left the most (?)
