|
We could sit beneath the evening |
|
And let the day turn blue |
|
I could never let the darkness |
|
Replace the thought of you |
|
C'mon darling let's catch that train |
|
To wherever we call god |
|
Maybe it's in massachusettes |
|
Or maybe not |
|
It's just you and i |
|
It's just you and i, my dear |
|
Just you and i |
|
It's just you and i |
|
Let's keep our boots pointed west |
|
Stay left of the police |
|
I know you're like a freight train |
|
To escape your family |
|
You've got a father who has done you wrong |
|
And a mother who doesn't care |
|
Get your backbone up my darling |
|
Let down your hair |
|
It's just you and i |
|
It's just you and i, my dear |
|
Just you and i |
|
It's just you and i |
|
When all the world turns into hospitals and jails |
|
I can always count on your love to be my bail |
|
And we'll go traveling on from year to year |
|
Just you and i, my dear |
|
I've got my backpack full of fourteen cartons |
|
Of cigarettes, cigarettes |
|
I've got a bumper sticker on my chest that says |
|
No regrets, no regrets |
|
I've got your love draped all around me like |
|
A big black cape, a big black cape |
|
All the billboards on the highway say |
|
Don't be late, don't be late |
|
It's just you and i |
|
It's just you and i |
|
When all the world turns into hospitals and jails |
|
I can always count on your love to be my bail |
|
We'll go traveling on from year to year |
|
Just you and i, my dear |
|
Well i woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor |
|
I was listening for your knocking |
|
But you weren't outside my door |
|
And i know that you won't be coming 'round |
|
In the way i want you to |
|
I wish you'd throw your arms around me |
|
But it's not for me |
|
It's not for me |
|
It'll be just me |
|
It'll be just me |
|
And i know i never told you how i felt |
|
But you could never understand the blues that you have dealt me |
|
So i'll keep traveling on from year to year |
|
It'll be just me, my dear |
|
It'll be just me, my dear |
|
Same thing year after year |
|
It'll be just me, my dear |
