|
It's bad timing and me |
|
We find a lot of things out this way |
|
And there's you |
|
A little black cloud in a dress |
|
The temptation |
|
To take the precious things we have apart |
|
To see how they work |
|
Must be resisted for they never fit together again |
|
If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me |
|
If these are tears let them fall |
|
Must I paint you a picture |
|
About the way that I feel? |
|
You know my love for you is strong, girl |
|
You know my love for you is real |
|
It took a short walk and a talk |
|
To change the rules of engagement |
|
While you searched frantically for reverse |
|
And them claiming |
|
That virtue never tested is no virtue at all |
|
And so I lost my ignorance |
|
And now the bells across the river chime out your name |
|
I look across to them again |
|
Must I paint you a picture |
|
About the way that I feel? |
|
You know my love for you is strong, girl |
|
You know my love for you is real |
|
All your friends said come down |
|
It will never fly |
|
And on that imperfect day |
|
We threw it all away |
|
Crisis after crisis |
|
With such intensity |
|
This would never happen if we lived by the sea |
|
Most important decisions in life |
|
Are made between two people in bed |
|
I found that out at my expense |
|
And when I see you |
|
You just turn around and walk away like we never met |
|
Oh we used to be so brave |
|
I dreamt the world stopped turning as we climbed the hill |
|
I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still |
|
Must I paint you a picture |
|
About the way that I feel? |
|
You know my love for you is strong, girl |
|
You know my love for you is real |
|
(repeat to end) |
