The levee's down it has broken again
Oh, the town is underwater, all the roads have sunken in
Cemetery flowers have all washed away
Oh, the storm has turned the sky to a dusty kind of gray
I saw her yesterday
What a terrible lie to tell at all
Full of alcohol
Goodbye, my dear stranger
I'll miss my unknown savior
209 on old Lee Street
Calling out a name I never knew is something to unsettle you
I jumped into the water, rising fast
Swam down to the floor, 400 feet below the shore
I found your picture in a soda machine
Oh, it smelled of ruby roses with a hint of gasoline
I found it yesterday
What a terrible mess it made of me
Just a reverie
Goodbye, my dear stranger
I'll miss my unknown savior
209 on old Lee Street
Calling out a name I never knew is something to unsettle you
Smoking on the porch, singing songs in your name
Oh, is this what she wanted? To see a daughter full of pain?
(Daughter full of pain?)
And in the moment I could feel myself shrink (feel myself shrink)
I'll keep my eyes wide open, and I'll try to never blink
Or else I'll miss you again (I'll miss you again)
Leave behind the suffering
With a shot of gin
Goodbye, my dear stranger
I'll miss my unknown savior
209 on old Lee Street
Calling out a name I never knew is something to unsettle you
Calling out your name
Dear stranger, help me through
