The Dream Syndicate — Then She Remembers lyrics

Lyrics

She shows a scar where her face met his ring
She remembers the pain but she forgot his name
ah, it’s alright it really didn’t mean a thing
textbook case of a mistreated daughter
who’s been told about some better offers
She agrees but she can’t forget her father
… then she remembers what she said
he had teeth like a vise and hands like a muzzle
he wasn’t polite but he had a way with words
on the day that he left she was honestly puzzled.
