|
I've been makin' money at the grocery store, |
|
So I can buy you somethin' nice when you |
|
get back from the war. |
|
You know it's true. |
|
I think about you every day. |
|
When I go to bed at night, |
|
Well I hope that you're okay. |
|
But the night's like a train; |
|
filled up with ghosts. |
|
Sing your song while the check out hosts. |
|
Dances with the loose carts in the |
|
parking lot. |
|
Give everything I've got. |
|
If you just kiss my face, |
|
make my black eyes burn. |
|
A fool like me will never learn. |
|
Speak the words I long to hear. |
|
Speak them slow and clear: |
|
I love you. |
|
In the meadow, the tiger spots the gray gazelle. |
|
And the next thing you know, everything goes to hell. |
|
Like my mind when I see you in the chapel light. |
|
Try as I may, try as I might. |
|
This thing comes and takes over me. |
|
Like the night upon the sea. |
|
Like thunder crashing down from above. |
|
Like love, like love. |
|
The wise man knows what a wise man's worth. |
|
In the future giants will walk the earth. |
|
But you and I won't see it, though. |
|
We'll be somewhere in a land below. |
|
With lace and feathers and grass so green. |
|
Softer than what's in between our skin |
|
when the sun has left the sky. |
|
When I fall into your eyes. |
|
Kiss my face, |
|
make my black eyes burn. |
|
A fool like me will never learn. |
|
Speak the words I long to hear. |
|
Speak them slow and clear: |
|
I love you. |
