Dear Gertrude lyrics

Song information

Artist: Paula Cole
Album: Harbinger

Lyrics

Tell me how the story will unfold
I know you see everything
Tell me all about the torch and scroll
I know you know everything

So why do you come to me?
Why when I'm sleeping?
Why am I the only one who knows you're there?
Why, why?

My dear, my dear gertrude
My dear, lonely soul
My dear, my dear gertrude
My dear, my dear, my dear

Tell me all about your history
Tell me all about your pains
Try to contact all your lost loved ones
Try to speak to them through me

So why do you come to me?
Why when I'm sleeping?
Why am I the only one
Who knows you're there?
Why, why?

Chorus

You're so lonely in my body
I can sympathize your pain
But the secret is too much
For me to hold
No, no one will believe
