Cindy

Verse 1

Cindy wears a crooked halo made of fraying twine

She keeps her secrets in a suitcase lined with stolen shine

Stands outside the corner store with lemonade and grace

Counting every headlight like a rosary of lace

Pre-Chorus

She says honey don't you ask me what my name means

I'm just a portrait with a fading scene

Chorus

Cindy oh Cindy you're a riddle in a raincoat

Cindy oh Cindy you don't ever take the bait

Smiling like the moon forgot to tell the sky it's fake

Cindy oh Cindy what you running from and where

Verse 2

She hands out tarot cards to truckers in the dusk

Whispers little fortunes in a voice of cracked husk

Says she once was a performer in a circus made of rain

Now she trades in strangers to forget her own name

Pre-Chorus

She says darling don't you try to tag along

I'm just a melody that got the verse wrong

Chorus

Cindy oh Cindy you're a riddle in a raincoat

Cindy oh Cindy you don't ever take the bait

Smiling like the moon forgot to tell the sky it's fake

Cindy oh Cindy what you running from and where

Bridge

She collects glass bottles filled with lightning bugs and dust

Says they're all her old heartbeats she couldn't bear to trust

One day she'll set them sailing down the river made of gold

And vanish like a rumor that was never really told

Chorus

Cindy oh Cindy you're a riddle in a raincoat

Cindy oh Cindy you don't ever take the bait

Smiling like the moon forgot to tell the sky it's fake

Cindy oh Cindy what you running from and where

Outro

Cindy oh Cindy

Cindy oh Cindy
