If I could write, I'd tell you how much I've missed these nights
|
Where we dig around the bones and try to find peace
|
A patch for the holes
|
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter
|
The corner boys told her I was dying to meet her
|
Like a prayer, I said on a dead man's knee
|
You drove up like a parade.
|
|
You and your high top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
|
And your Ole '55 that you drove through the roof
|
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
|
While you just kept coming apart
|
You and your high top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
|
And your Ole '55 that you drove through the roof
|
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
|
While you just kept coming apart
|
Straight in my arms, fell straight in my arms
|
|
And I miss it sometimes, shaking like a leaf
|
On the corner of Vine, but I heard it's alright
|
The radio spoke to a good friend of mine.
|
And I can feel it coming up as the night's getting warm
|
Saw your summer dress hanging on the back of the lawn
|
Like a dream I remember from an easier time
|
With the top rolled down on a Saturday night
|
|
You and your high top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
|
And your Ole '55 that you drove through the roof
|
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
|
While you just kept coming apart
|
You and your high top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
|
And your Ole '55 that you drove through the roof
|
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
|
While you just kept coming apart
|
Right in my arms, right in my arms
|
|
And I always dreamed of classic cars and movie screens
|
And trying to find some way to be redeemed.
|
Bring a dollar with you, babe
|
In the cold, cold ground.
|
|
You and your high top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
|
And your Ole '55 that you drove through the roof
|
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
|
While you just kept coming apart
|
You and your high top sneakers and your sailor tattoos
|
And your Ole '55 that you drove through the roof
|
Of the sky up above these indifferent stars
|
While you just kept coming apart
|
You fell straight in my arms
|
You fell straight in my arms.
