Gail Russell

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I knew It was over on the day that I saw her A silver screen actress gone undiscovered She's walking on water She's emerging from a dream A ghost without a haunt Her insides bursting at the seams [Chorus] I said oh Please don't look my way [Verse 2] Oh years ago they simply tried to burn her at the stake She said - 'I gave my life to Jesus Christ at such an early age But the lord don't give as much as he truly takes away And now I'm never gonna crumble under anybody's gaze' [Chorus] I said oh Please don't look my way [Verse 3] She was just standing there in her vampire lingerie Oh this'll be the last time that I bail you out of jail And breathing plumes of spirits staring out the window pane She said - 'My daddy always told me I'm the reason it rains…' [Verse 4] Well I knew there was trouble in those Gail Russell eyes And the scars along her wrists piled high with cemetery bites As that long black flag of death well It Just waved into the Night She said '…these crucifix blues - they never ask for your advice.' [Chorus] I said oh Please don't look my way [Outro] Please don't look my way
