One of Us Cannot Be Wrong Gregory Alan Isakov

I lit a thin green candle
To make you jealous of me
The room filled up with mosquitos
They heard that my body was free

And I took the dust of a long sleepless night
And I put it in your little shoe
And I must confess that I tortured the dress
That you wore for the world to look through

And I showed my heart to the doctor
He said, "You just have to quit"
Then he wrote himself a perscription
And your name was mentioned in it

Then he locked himself in a library shelf
With the details of our honeymoon
And I hear from the nurse that he's gotten much worse
And his practice is all in a ruin

I once knew a saint who had loved you
I studied all night in his school
He taught that the duty of lovers
Was to tarnish the golden rule

And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
He drowned himself in the pool
His body is gone, but out here on the lawn
His spirit continues to drool
