Augie March — O Song lyrics

Lyrics

You don’t keep me company
You all turn out wrong
If you are my daughters, if you are my sons
I can only hold you inside for so long
O song, did I lead you on?
If you are my love, well love what’s wrong?
You don’t keep me company for near enough long
I can’t feel or touch you, or hold you for long
O song, are you leading me on?
Friends come in time, and then they are gone
I know what it’s like to be floating along
Without a warm body to heap your cares on
O on and into the night
For I have been bad now for twenty years long
For centuries you have been pure and strong
If you thought me a good place to stay you were wrong
O song, did I lead you on?
