So the wind that blows across your room
|
Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser
|
It rained for jewelry and for credit cards
|
Two tickets to a film I don¡¯t remember
|
One day you¡¯ll kiss your rabbit¡¯s nose, pick up the phone
|
To find I've been turned over
|
And you¡¯ll grab that piece of gold
|
Only to find that the smell has taken over
|
Now all the things you had, they aren¡¯t the same...
|
As what you hold
|
|
I'm standing in a room,
|
It¡¯s filled with older folks, pleading "baby listen"
|
And I scream as loud as anyone,
|
But when asked to make a point I tend to whisper
|
Now highways turn to tidal waves
|
They¡¯re asking me to export all of your insecurities
|
But that wind that blows across your room
|
Its gonna set the sails, and send me back to you
|
|
Sometimes, when sailors are sailing
|
They think twice, about where they¡¯re anchoring
|
And I think, I could make better use of my time on land
|
Ill drink less
|
Cause lord knows I could use a warm kiss
|
Instead of a cold goodbye
|
I¡¯m writing the folks back home to tell them
|
"Hey I, Hey I¡¯m doing alright"
|
|
It¡¯s a shame what your father did to your brother¡¯s head when he smashed it with a telephone
|
And your mother got scared and locked the door
|
You were only four, but lord you remember it
|
So now you¡¯re scared of love
|
I¡¯m here to tell you love ain't just some blood on the receiver
|
Love is speaking in code
|
It¡¯s an inside joke
|
Love is coming home
|
|
Sometimes, when sailors are sailing
|
They think twice, about where they¡¯re anchoring
|
And I think, I could make better use of my time on land
|
ill drink less
|
cause lord knows I could use a warm kiss
|
instead of a cold goodbye
|
I¡¯m writing the folks back home to tell them
|
"Hey I¡¯m doing alright"
|
|
yeah I¡¯m doing just fine
|
and if she seems as lonely as me.....
|
let her sink.
|
|
Yeah I'm doing alright
|
Yeah I'm doing just fine
|
And if she seems as lonely as me...
|
let her sink.
|
let her sink.
|
let her...
