Incessant stream of cars
Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars
Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground
Today the rains just water
It wont stop from falling down
I grow weary waiting for my muse
But in between the times she comes
I still have to tie my shoes
And get on with my day
There are mornings when Im more vigorous
And there are days I have to take the bus
Lifes so rich
Lifes so empty
Secret rendezvous
Long distance from a phone booth
Like two players in a mystery straight out of our youth
Well Im finding that dramatics have lost their old appeal
I play the part of stoic lover but Im not sure how I feel
I get discouraged waiting for the world
To understand this love affair
To understand the girl
There are moments when amelias right beside me
The next thing I know
I taste the salt of the sea
Lifes so rich
Lifes so empty
Cold black coffee
Incessant stream of cars
Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars
Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground
Today the rains just water
It wont stop from falling down
I grow weary Im waiting for the world
To understand this love affair
To understand the girl
There are moments when amelias right beside me
The next thing I know, I taste the salt of the sea
Lifes so rich
Lifes so empty
Lifes so strange
Oh
Cold black coffee Incessant stream of cars Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground Today the rains just water It wont stop from falling down I grow weary waiting for my muse But in between the times she comes I still have to tie my shoes And get on with my day There are mornings when Im more vigorous And there are days I have to take the bus Lifes so rich Lifes so empty Secret rendezvous Long distance from a phone booth Like two players in a mystery straight out of our youth Well Im finding that dramatics have lost their old appeal I play the part of stoic lover but Im not sure how I feel I get discouraged waiting for the world To understand this love affair To understand the girl There are moments when amelias right beside me The next thing I know I taste the salt of the sea Lifes so rich Lifes so empty Cold black coffee Incessant stream of cars Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground Today the rains just water It wont stop from falling down I grow weary Im waiting for the world To understand this love affair To understand the girl There are moments when amelias right beside me The next thing I know, I taste the salt of the sea Lifes so rich Lifes so empty Lifes so strange Oh Explain Request ×
