|
One, two, three, ya |
|
Playing dead on the unmade bed |
|
With the book unread and the New York Times |
|
Undone in my head over those words |
|
I said to that love of mine |
|
That love of mine |
|
Of mine |
|
So many blessings, so little time |
|
It's easier I find to dwell on the lows |
|
But not her, she's a child of the sun |
|
She sees everyone through a veil of rose |
|
That love of mine |
|
Of mine |
|
And in the mirror of her eyes |
|
I've seen my lies and they scare me half |
|
To death with their troubles so deep |
|
I start to weep at the end of a laugh |
|
That love of mine |
|
Of mine |
|
Oh yes, love, the pleasure and the pain |
|
A blessing and a bane blah, blah, and all that |
|
I need this like a hole in my brain |
|
Like a downtown train needs an uptown track |
