Animal Logic - Love In The Ruins (Doctor Dear Doctor) lyrics

When we first met you gave me a book Love In The Ruins, the title When later you left that book on the shelf I knew that it had to be final It turned out to be a story of doom We read the first chapter together But I still continued to read in my room And hoped it would go on forever Doctor, dear, doctor, I know how you feel There's so many people you're dying to heal And all you can do is the best you can do Doctor, dear, doctor, it's all up to you A boy from the south with a hole in his heart Thought he would marry an actress I bought him a bed from a second hand store With a queen sized extra firm mattress I followed the characters hangin' on the edge A Merle Haggard record was playing Closing my eyes as we lay on the bed I could not hear what they were saying Doctor, dear, doctor, I know how you feel There's so many people you're dying to heal And all you can do is the best you can do Doctor, dear, doctor, it's all up to you And how could you leave me at a time like this How could you leave me at all? Haven't you heard this is serious? I'll pick up the telephone and call, I'll call Doctor, dear, doctor, I know how you feel So many people are crying And all you can do is the best you can do Doctor, dear, doctor, keep trying Doctor, dear, doctor, I know how you feel So many people are crying And all you can do is the best you can do Doctor, dear, doctor, keep trying
