lyrics

LADY WISCONSIN

You brought the cold wind, late in September
Don’t you remember
This was the beginning of the end

You caught my heart, I tried to run
You shot love through a smoking gun
Blood poured out, and I tried to pretend

Sometimes It’s beautiful, meant to be
Sometimes it’s a beautiful tragedy
I guess this time, we’ll just have to wait and see

Cause I fell in love with Lady Wisconsin
I fell in love with Lady Wisconsin
And I’m pretty sure, she fell in love with me

We danced in the sun, we laid in the grass
I wished that time would never pass
These bells were ringing loudly from the start

We smoked thunder from a broken bone
Rode our bikes the long way home
Got lost in the storm, but you couldn’t lose my heart

Honey moon, she cried tears
You said I’ll see you in 15 years
But threads like these don’t break so easily

‘Cause i fell in love with Lady Wisconsin
I fell in love with Lady Wisconsin
And I’m pretty sure she fell in love with me

You said you wanted me to be your man         
But you had shackles on your hands
The wind on the great lakes cried above our heads

You tried to take me to the shore
But I couldn't take any more
And soon the autumn leaves will all be dead

Sometimes It’s a beautiful rhapsody
Sometimes it’s a beautiful tragedy
I guess this time, we’re just not meant to be

Cause I fell in love with Lady Wisconsin
I fell in love with Lady Wisconsin
And I’m pretty sure she fell in love with me
