|
We cruise high in the summer sky |
|
I believe everything you say 'cause you're |
|
Not frightened the way I've been so |
|
So I follow you just in case you lose your way |
|
So glad you let me stay around |
|
The chain link fence you climbed to make |
|
Forbidden lakes our own, yours and mine |
|
And with ease of the sea gulls, we cut the engines |
|
And we cruise high in the summer sky, baby |
|
Now, I could speak to everything |
|
But there's no room for my voice when sweet feedback |
|
Is jumpin' through the hoop of your earring |
|
There goes the phone and then you're off again |
|
On what the caller brings you |
|
So, I went and trashed myself at the bar |
|
Confused for nothin', thinkin' you'd be there |
|
I'm so embarrassed 'cause it's you who comes to |
|
Take care of me, shamblin' home again with you to lead |
|
And it's not the way I wanna go |
|
And I'm mad at you and I'm mad at me |
|
Talkin' endlessly, not a kind word to say |
|
Till your amber beads of wisdom come |
|
And I want to write 'em down |
|
Just the way you said it, oh no |
|
So I could keep it always, always |
|
I can't forget the smell of summer trees at midnight |
|
Bendin' backwards to please the wind |
|
You touch the tattoo of the sun on a warm belly |
|
That once carried a baby for a while |
|
Then let that crackled leather jacket 'round you fold |
|
Red face saints monogrammed in gold and in this |
|
Beauty, I would not go any further 'cause I suddenly |
|
Remembered, we can't live this way forever |
|
Idle daylight, oh, I've never caught you in a lie |
|
Not until now, I feel somehow |
|
I felt the passin' of these days goin' by |
|
What will you do when the feeling that you have is through? |
|
I need to know 'cause I'll never stop hangin' on to you |
|
And it's times like this that I dread when there's everything to say |
|
And nothing left to be said, to be said and it makes me sad |
