Artiste : The Lumineers
Titre : The Ballad Of Cleopatra
I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress

With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah

And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife, I´d be your mistress just to have you around

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I´ll be on time

While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me

Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true
So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me
From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you

But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I´ll be on time

And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce
But I´ve read this script and the costume fits, so I´ll play my part

I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters
But that´s all in the past love, gone with the wind

Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom
It´s a bed and a bathroom
And a place for the end

I won´t be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I´ll be on time
