Laura Stevenson Caretaker Lyrics

I wake up, I feed your cat
And tell myself that I'm okay where I'm at
And I take great care keeping this roof pitched
But it's lonely out here, I can't make any music
Understand, I can no longer take care

This is the last night in the house I was born in
Could you give me a ride to the train in the morning?
I have a real nice place on a real nice block
With a garden outside, you should see it sometime
But don't, don't worry about

This is the last night in the house I was born in
Don't tell me that I have forgotten who I am
I'm gonna write, write, write
Until it comes out wrong
And then I'll hang up my hands on the hook when I am done

And I'll know that you always wanted me to
And I'll tell myself that things you said
You said just because you had to
