lyrics

Lonely Silverware
By Kathleen Dunbar
Copyrighted by Kathleen Dunbar

So you don’t love me
Like I love you
I could pretend to you
That I don’t care
Sittin all lonely in my kitchen
Rattlin in my drawer
Is all my lonely lonely silverware

Chorus
It’s all about control
It’s all about control
Whoever says yes loses
The winner says no
Your hips and your lips
And your sighs and your eyes
Look like a yes
But they’re a no in disguise

You say you’re shy
You’re a boyscout so sweet
Please take your time
You’re confused and not complete
You petted me like velvet
Ignited me like fire
You looked into my soul
And you toyed with my desire

You held the deep red edges
Of my heart in your hand
You kissed me like a girl
Then you kissed me like a man
You tied me up in knots
Like a snake bone bow
You gotta admit honey
That it’s all about control

Chorus

I ache like an engine
That don’t have any grease
You tied me up inside your heart
Won’t give me no release
I love you like an angel
With a fatal disease
I’ll tell you no later
But now I’m askin please

My heart is as raw
As a bird on fire
I’m stranglin in your sweetness
Like the truth inside a liar
I’m a drink with no mouth for me
A bullet with no gun
But I love you like a pilgrim
When god gets done

Chorus

So you don’t love me
Like I loved you
It don’t matter no more
Cuz I don’t care
Sittin all lonely in my kitchen
Rattlin in my drawer
Is all my lonely lonely silverware

about

Kathleen Dunbar San Francisco, California

You may notice my songs are about angels and devils, birth, life, death, about creation and crumbling destruction—the troubles we humans get ourselves into and the choices we make—some of them funky, some of them ending in the dark, others rising into the light of morning. Touching, humorous, spellbinding storytelling—my songs brings you into the irony, the tragedy, and the possibilities of life. ... more
