Matt Van Gossamer Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gossamer girl
Lend me your ear
And a comforting word
Spin me a web
And then leave me to burn
Gossamer girl

Gossamer girl
How does it feel
To be queen of the world
Sit on a throne of your
Counterfeit words
Gossamer girl

[Chorus]
Please don't sing
Me a lullaby
'Cause I'm not quite ready
To say goodnight
I can't tell
The spiders from the butterflies
They both feel the same
As they're eating me alive

[Verse 2]
Gossamer girl
Color my thoughts Like you did when we were
Tangled in bed
Now I toss and I turn
Gossamer girl
Gossamer girl
Kiss me tonight
It's the end of the world
Don't let me die
I've got so much to learn
Gossamer girl

[Chorus]
Please don't sing
Me a lullaby
'Cause I'm not quite ready
To say goodbye
I can't tell
The spiders from the butterflies
They both feel the same
As they're eating me alive, oh
But you don't seem to mind
Gossamer girl
