[00:00.21]Cleopatra(Acoustic Demo|Bonus Track) - The Lumineers
[00:28.56]I was Cleopatra I was young and an actress
[00:35.53]When you knelt by my mattress
[00:38.18]and asked for my hand
[00:42.02]But I was sad you asked it
[00:45.51]as I laid in a black dress
[00:48.84]With my father in a casket
[00:51.58]I had no plans
[00:55.34](yea)
[01:02.46]And I left the footprints
[01:05.71]the mud stained on the carpet
[01:09.07]And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
[01:15.51]But I must admit it
[01:19.26]that I would marry you in an instant
[01:21.92]Damn your wife
[01:23.88]I'd be your mistress just to have you around
[01:28.98]But I was late for thislate for that
[01:32.80]late for the love of my life
[01:35.83]And when I die alonewhen I die alone
[01:39.70]when I die I'll be on time
[01:43.00](aye)
[01:57.55]While the church discouraged
[02:00.56]any lust that burned within me
[02:03.44]Yes my fleshit was my currency
[02:06.62]but I held true
[02:10.28]When a man's dejected
[02:13.19]well he can fight for your affections
[02:16.11]or he can act like he never met you
[02:18.94]and even go to the ground
[02:22.87]But I was late for this
[02:24.81]Late for that
[02:26.33]Late for the love of my life
[02:29.19]And when I die alone
[02:31.16]When I die alone
[02:32.63]When I die I'll be on time
[02:35.47](yea)
[02:41.98]So I drive a taxi
[02:45.55]and the traffic distracts me
[02:48.29]from the strangers in my backseat
[02:50.91]They remind me of you
[02:54.64]But it's all a daydream
[02:57.59]when it's you who's behind me
[03:00.91]but you never recognize me
[03:03.46]appraising you
[03:07.27]And the only gifts from my Lord
[03:10.68]were a birth and a divorce
[03:15.24]but I've read this script
[03:16.88]and the costume fits
[03:18.86]so I play my part
[03:54.39]And there are nights I wake up
[03:57.36]to the sound of a door shut
[04:00.52]and I search on the floor but
[04:03.23]I find no tracks
[04:06.88]And the nurse in white shoes
[04:09.94]leads me back to my guestroom
[04:13.02]it's a bed and a bathroom
[04:17.12]and a place to relax
[04:22.44]but I was late for this
[04:24.47]late for that
[04:26.05]late for the love of my life
[04:28.85]When I die alone
[04:30.50]When I die alone
[04:32.47]When I die I'll be on time
[04:35.33](aye)
[04:36.66]
