    This is a beautiful song and Laura gives an immaculate performance of it. I love the album - every track is superb. When I heard Laura in her early career, I thought she was an outstanding performer and songwriter. She has continued to improve at such a rate that one day she may overtake Joni Mitchell as my all -time favourite singer/songwriter. It is getting to the point that I am struggling to find words that sufficiently express my admiration of her work. I can't wait for her next album.❤❤

    Though they may want you to tread in their trail
    Only to see if the path they set fails
    Though they may want you to take off your clothes
    Whatever they think that the action exposed

    With your clothes on the floor
    Taking advice from some old balding bore
    You’ll ask yourself “did I want this at all?”

    Do you remember what I said
    The book I left by your bed
    The words that some survivor read
    Lately I’ve been thinking bout our daughter growing old
    All of the bullshit that she might be told
    There’s blood on the floor
    Maybe now you’ll believe her for sure
    She remembers what I said
    The book I left by her bed
    The words that some survivor read

    Though they may take you for all you had left
    You wont be forgotten for what you had not done yet

    So you wished for a kiss from god
    You mourn in your childish loss
    Innocence gone but its not forgot
    You’ll cut your way through it somehow
    You remember what I said
    The book you left by your bed
    The words that will outlive the dead
