Does not suffice


I will pack up my pretty dresses
I will box up my high-heeled shoes
A sparkling ring, for every finger
I'll put away, and hide from view

Coats of boucle, jacquard and cashmere
Cartouche and tweed, all silver shot
And everything that could remind you
Of how easy I was not

I'll tuck away my gilded buttons
I'll bind my silks in shapeless bales
I'll wrap it all on up, in reams of tissue
And then I'll kiss you, sweet farewell

You saw me rise to our occasion
And so deny the evidence
You caused me to burn, and twist
And grimace against you
Like something caught
On a barbed-wire fence

Now, you can see me fall
Back here redoubled
Full bewildered and amazed
I have gotten into some terrible trouble
Beneath your blank and rinsing gaze

It does not suffice
For you to say I am a sweet girl
Or to say you hate to see me sad
Because of you
It does not suffice
To merely lie beside each other
As those who love each other do

I picture you, rising up in the morning
Stretching out on your boundless bed
Beating a clear path to the shower
Scouring yourself red

The tap of hangers
Swaying in the closet
Unburdened hooks
And empty drawers
And everywhere I tried to love you
Is yours again
And only yours

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics DOES NOT SUFFICE of JOANNA NEWSOM is also present in the album Have one on me (2010)
