about

This an alternative reverb soaked version of this track that was covered by Deanna Varagona as a pre-war blues song on the Moon Over The Downs CD. It a true story...an old Vauxhall car that leaked oil since the day its original engine had exploded on first drive....bled dry.

lyrics

Bled Dry

Our hearts were always leaking
From the day we staggered through these doors
Like the engine of your old car
We were pouring love all over the floor

We never even saw it slip away
Until the night
We were both bled dry, bled dry

Well the night it all ended
We were going round in circles, the tank empty
We ran out of gas in the middle of town
I tried to get us some more but there was none around

I gave you everything and more
But your heart had been broken twice before
Now I hold it in my hand
All this love we had, so small..

it's bled dry, bled dry

Never even saw it slip away...

Bled dry, bled dry, bled dry

dry dry dry

If you’ve ever dreamt of Daniel Johnston doing an impression of Conor Oberst singing Jeff Tweedy songs,
then you must listen to this.
