Half asleep with the sun coming up out east |
|
We're driving down Garfield Ave when you said a strange and significant thing |
|
I can remember the words - "this was a beautiful night |
|
It won't, it won't ever happen this way again" |
|
No, my dear, nothing much grows around here |
|
We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided |
|
Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took |
|
The setting can't be nowhere else in the world |
|
And the story opens up with you |
|
Your broken dreams and cheap perfume |
|
You're on a city bus, the rain it falls |
|
Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls |
|
And I stumble on from Uptown bars |
|
I guess that's all I've got so far |
|
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how |
|
You save me and then you save yourself |
|
It ends so soon, the night and the fading moon |
|
I put my hand inside yours, the city looks strange and significant |
|
I know these streets, the place where I'll live and die |
|
Resigned to that fact, but I, I'm hoping it happens this way again |
|
No, my dear, nothing much grows around here |
|
We carry our roots with us, a couple of weeds pulled up, misguided |
|
Girl, you'll be the heroine of my book, the plot is the course we took |
|
The setting can't be nowhere else in the world |
|
And the story opens up with you |
|
Your broken dreams and cheap perfume |
|
You're on a city bus, the rain it falls |
|
Your make up bleeds, the wind it howls |
|
And I stumble on from Uptown bars |
|
I guess that's all I've got so far |
|
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how |
|
You save me and then you save yourself |
|
And the story opens up with you |
|

|

|
Yeah, but at the end, I don't know how |
|
You save me and then you save yourself |
|
Fall asleep to the radio |
|
Try to keep what I got from you |
|
Hard to do in these dreary days |
