Cleopatra(Acoustic Demo|Bonus Track) - The Lumineers I was Cleopatra I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket I had no plans (yea) And I left the footprints the mud stained on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife I'd be your mistress just to have you around But I was late for thislate for that late for the love of my life And when I die alonewhen I die alone when I die I'll be on time (aye) While the church discouraged any lust that burned within me Yes my fleshit was my currency but I held true When a man's dejected well he can fight for your affections or he can act like he never met you and even go to the ground But I was late for this Late for that Late for the love of my life And when I die alone When I die alone When I die I'll be on time (yea) So I drive a taxi and the traffic distracts me from the strangers in my backseat They remind me of you But it's all a daydream when it's you who's behind me but you never recognize me appraising you And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce but I've read this script and the costume fits so I play my part And there are nights I wake up to the sound of a door shut and I search on the floor but I find no tracks And the nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom it's a bed and a bathroom and a place to relax but I was late for this late for that late for the love of my life When I die alone When I die alone When I die I'll be on time (aye)
