the people and tables are set to the bone
|
the ladies in waiting long to go home
|
wallflowers drooping against pastel shades
|
oh for a man with no lock on his gate
|
|
waiting for nothing confuses the mind
|
letting go pieces for no one to find
|
the smell from the afternoon sits in the air
|
oh for a man with no back to his chair
|
|
i never wanted i never wanted
|
and i never got i never got
|
i never wanted i never wanted
|
and i never got i never once got
|
|
sweeping the outskirts and keeping the jar
|
something had been telling me you were not far
|
from a jewel in a casket to a pearl in a shell
|
oh for a man with no stories to tell
|
|
i never wanted i never wanted
|
and i never got i never got
|
i never wanted i never wanted
|
and i never got i never once got
|
|
the people and tables are set to the bone
|
the ladies in waiting long to go home
|
wallflowers drooping against pastel shades
|
oh for a man with no lock on his gate
|
|
waiting for nothing confuses the mind
|
letting go pieces for no one to find
|
the smell from the afternoon sits in the air
|
oh for a man with no back to his chair
|
|
i never wanted i never wanted
|
and i never got i never got
|
i never wanted i never wanted
|
and i never got i never once got
