The Lumineers - Cleopatra(2016)

[00:12.03] I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
[00:18.54] When you knelt by my mattress and asked for my hand
[00:24.73] But I was sad, you asked it as I laid in a black dress
[00:31.39] With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah
[00:38.24]
[00:40.47]
[00:43.89] And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
[00:50.29] And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
[00:56.56] But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
[01:02.36] Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
[01:08.93] But I was late for this, late for that
[01:12.75] Late for the love of my life
[01:15.54] And when I die alone, when I die alone
[01:19.13] Die I'll be on time, I
[01:24.87]
[01:29.77] And while the church discouraged any lust that burned within me
[01:35.68] Yes, my flesh it was my currency, but I held true
[01:42.50] So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
[01:48.74] From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you
[01:54.90] But I was late for this, late for that
[01:58.67] Late for the love of my life
[02:01.46] And when I die alone, when I die alone
[02:04.77] When I die I'll be on time
[02:09.37] The only gifts from my Lord
[02:12.73] Were a birth and a divorce
[02:17.40] But I've read this script and the costume fits
[02:21.14] So I play my parts
[02:24.80]
[02:28.40] I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
[02:34.62] But that's all in the past, love, gone with the wind
[02:40.93] And now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
[02:47.54] It's a bed and a bathroom, and a place for the end
[02:56.75] I won't be late for this, late for that
[03:00.51] Late for the love of my life
[03:03.46] And when I die alone, when I die alone
[03:07.18] Die I'll be on time, I
[03:11.92]
