I can't tell you where I've been now, darling |
|
There are hawks inside my head |
|
And every smile and every good thing |
|
Are picked at till they are dead |
|
I love you was all she said |
|
That's all she said |
|
From that old street |
|
To that new house |
|
To those beautiful hills |
|
Inside your blouse |
|
To the rain that kept falling |
|
And those years off the rails |
|
When we smiled like two sailors |
|
With holes in our sails |
|
When I'd turn to a coma |
|
With a black hole in my chest |
|
When a kiss was the cure |
|
And I'd save my breath |
|
When you'd walk to the bedroom |
|
And I'd fall on the couch |
|
If I wasted your beauty |
|
I'll ignite it somehow |
|
'Cause a dream can be cruel |
|
When it haunts you like this |
|
With your eyes like a deer |
|
And the words from your lips |
|
What I'm trying to say is |
|
I was afraid that you'd leave |
|
So I slept with my failures |
|
And I started to grieve |
|
I started to grieve |
|
I started to grieve |
