Cormac McCarthy
Patsy
[Verse 1]
When we’re in our wild place
I can only hear you
Rising like a country tune
Pedal steel crying leading to ruin
Thought I had you where I want you
I could be in LA
All the silver rooftops
All the crazy cries of lovers
No match for your wildfire
It’s better than a quiet life

[Chorus]
There you go
Wrongfooting me every time
Just when I think I've the essence of you
You steer me off balance, like Patsy Cline
Here you are, pointing to a differеnt climb
Just when I think I've caught up with you
You walk after midnight likе Patsy Cline

[Post-Chorus]
This wild place
There's no trace
Just a fragment
Of the way we were
[Verse 2]
I went fumbling and foraging
Looking for our wild place
Found your scarlet letter
Read it twice and kissed it better
Buried words to be reaped and sown
The things I've done
I've told to you
I wouldn't tell to whisperin pines
We were our own captain and our crew
If love is a wild place
We rode horses from the ocean

[Chorus]
There you go
Wrongfooting me every time
Just when I think I've the essence of you
You steer me off balance, like Patsy Cline
Here you are, pointing to a different climb
Just when I think I've caught up with you
You walk after midnight like Patsy Cline

[Chorus]
There you go
Wrongfooting me every time
Just when I think I've the essence of you
You steer me off balance, like Patsy Cline
Here you are, pointing to a different climb
Just when I think I've caught up with you
You walk after midnight like Patsy Cline
[Post-Chorus]
This wild place
There's no trace
Just a fragment
Of the way we were
