Maggie Said - Natalie Merchant

Maggie said

Dig one more shallow grave before I’m dead

Maggie said

I’m just lookin' for a place that I can lay my weary head

There’s no perfect end

Just time to leave

Maggie said

They wreck the table at the game of love

Maggie said

It’s just stupid luck if you rise above

Everybody’s second in death

Win or lose, my friend

It’s so hard to leave

Holdin' back

What did I get for all of that?

What did it count for?

Tell me that

Nothin'

Nothin'

Oh, nothin', that’s a fact

Maggie said

It’s so hard to find the Golden Fleece to spin my golden thread

Maggie said

You’re preachin' to the choir, girl, now

You’re not stickin' out your neck

There’s no risk in that

Darlin', please

Holdin' back

What did I get for all of that?

What did it count for?

Tell me that

Tell me that

Nothin'

Nothin'

Nothin', that’s a fact

Maggie said

Don’t let them take that halo from your head

Maggie said

I can see you’re turning hard now, girl

Don’t lose your tenderness

What’s the use in that?

Darlin', please

Holdin' back

What did I get for all of that?

What did it count for?

Tell me that

Count for?

Tell me that

Nothin'

Nothin'

Nothin'

Oh, nothin', that’s a fact
