Karin, if I told you what I wanted to I wonder if you would've stuck around Well, I could take you walking down to Hoxton Square With the lazy afternoon still kickin' around
Karin, if I left it where I wanted to Yeah, I wonder if you'd sit around and smile When you're dreamin' of America, your father's ghost Breaks the door with all his chains just rattlin' around
'Cause if it were easy You wouldn't need me If it would bring you any ease I'd beg to Jesus, "won't you let Karin free?"
Karin, all this silence, it's so deafening And all the leaves have fallen from the trees I could hold your cigarette on Oxford Street But I'm back here, where your lover wants me to be
And Karin, there's this patience in the things we say It's the harboring of all the things we do Yeah, and everytime I tell myself there’s nothing left May I always say your name and think of you
'Cause if it were easy You wouldn't need me If it would bring you any ease I'd beg to Jesus, "won’t you let Karin free?" I'd beg to Jesus, "won’t you let Karin free?"
Karin, if I told you what I wanted to I wonder if you would've stuck around Yeah, I could take you walking down to Hoxton Square With the lazy afternoon still kickin' around
And Karin, if I left it where I wanted to I wonder if you'd sit around and smile When you're dreamin' of America, your father's ghost Breaks the door when all his chains just rattle around
'Cause if it were easy You wouldn't need me If it would bring you any ease I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karin free?" I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karin free?" Oh, I'd beg to Jesus "won’t you let Karin free?"
