[Intro]

One, two

One, two, three, four

One, two

One, two, three, four


[Verse 1]

I was born on a Friday back in 1976

To a singer and a teacher

Who at the time were a perfect fit

They gave me what I needed

To go out on the road

And their song still rings like an echo


[Verse 2]

I was born on a Saturday back in 1992

I had barely even kissed a guy

Until the summer that I met you

When you played me Leonard Cohen

On a Southside bedroom floor

It was then I knew what the dark was for


[Chorus 1]

Gonna stay here forever

Like the strum on your first guitar

Time gave me steady means

[?] gave me all these pretty scars


[Verse 3]

I was born on a Wednesday back in 1999

Your heart stopped beating

Right before you weren't alive

A part of me lies with you

In your opiate embrace

I was changed ever since that day


[Chorus 2]

I'll stay here forever

Like the gleam on a silver star

Time, like an [??]

[?] gives me all these pretty scars


[Verse 4]

They were born on the first of May, once and twice again

The tears were streaming

My head in my husband's hands

I thought I knew of love

The kind that knocked you off your feet

But man, I didn't know anything
