Leonora - The Mynabirds

Oh Leonora

How I loved you

But the war, it tore us apart

You made love to a madman

So i married a bad

For the things we do for art

I may’ve called another woman my wife

I’ve got swept up and lucked out at first

But, oh Leonora

Your raven hair haunts me

And I suspect it always will

Oh Leonora

Your cortisol arrow

Will be vivid

On my mind

Was it really my fault?

I swear i felt every shock

Sometimes lovers are like-wise

Don’t you know i carried your ghost

Painted everywhere

All about what is gold

I’ll tell him it’s me

They’ll never know

How much heart-ache is good for the show

I ran away with our fact of regret

Saying I’ll find the silver in you

My nights they are lonely

I still think of you fondly

The way that lovers often do

Oh Leonora

When you’re out in the garden

Under Leo and Capricorn

The star crossed lovers

Remind me of you

You were a lion I could never hold
