From the recording About to Burst
Lyrics
I Held The Satchel
by Danielle Howle
I held the satchel
walked like a lawyer
talked like a mother
loved like a sister
You say you don’t mean that
let me through
the accident happened
the victim was you
Now all these systems
seem by design
to take this poison
and move this time
Say you don’t mean that
let me through
the accident happened
the victim was you
Now I can’t find you
but you’re right here
say I love you
to your ears
the walking beating
breathing sounds
I say I love you like a
leaf in the wind
Why I listen
why I still care
why I mumble
in your little ear
Say you don’t mean that
let me through the
accident happened
the victim was you
