|
What can I say |
|
did I steal you away |
|
from a life that you thought you would lead? |
|
All days can be strange |
|
but then August is dangerous |
|
handing your heart to the heat. |
|
A quiet line |
|
I hope you can love me a long time |
|
I hope you can see me through |
|
I find the light in your eyes to be bright |
|
It started out West |
|
in some mountain state test |
|
that I carried back east in my bag. |
|
And then on to you |
|
and the next thing I knew |
|
my city had more than it had. |
|
"One day |
|
nothing without Providence," |
|
they'd sing |
|
I hope you can love me a long way |
|
from home |
|
because that's where I'll be. |
|
And here's to downtown |
|
when there's no one around |
|
in the saddest of bars on the block. |
|
We're changing the game |
|
never the same |
|
you can't argue with this little clock. |
|
And you said you were fine |
|
but the ship is betrayed |
|
by its ensign |
|
a good distance away it will still shine |
|
and wave in the wind to be seen. |
|
Place me here in this minute |
|
of "let's see" |
|
I hope you can love who I might be |
|
I hope that the summer will last. |
|
A quiet line |
|
I hope you can love me a long time |
|
I hope you can see me through |
|
I find the light in your eyes to be bright. |
