Ray LaMontagne
Hannah
[Verse 1]
I lost all of my vanity
When I peered into the pool
I lost all of my innocence
When I fell in love with you
I never knew a man could fall so far until I landed here
Where all of my wounds, they turned into gold
When I kissed your hair

[Chorus]
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you to come home to me
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me

[Verse 2]
Ask her why she cries so loud
Will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands that shake
She takes what she deserves
To celebrate the emptiness
Of a cold and lonely room
Sweep the floor with your long flowered dress
If you cannot find a broom

[Chorus]
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you to come home to me
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
[Verse 3]
She's got hair that flows right down, right down
To the backs of her knees
Her Papa, he was a preaching man
And the Lord is hard to please
So she comes down from the Ozark Hills to these
Very streets to roam
With a banjo and a bible
And a fine tooth comb

[Chorus]
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you to come home to me
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me

[Verse 4]
Now, I'd walk one mile on just broken glass
To fall down at your feet
Mm-mm, my Hannah
You're the queen of the street

I climbed the tree with my Hannah Lee
My intentions, they were pure
But the breeze did whip and I lost my grip
And I tumbled towards the earth
Where you never would guess who it was that stood below
His name I will never tell
But His eyes were clear
His arms were strong
He caught me as I fell
[Chorus]
Now come to me, Hannah
Hannah, won't you to come home to me
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me

[Reprise]
Now, I'd walk one mile on broken glass
To fall down at your feet
Mm-mm, my Hannah, you're the queen of the street
The queen of the street
