Whatever news you had |
|
Whatever shoes you had |
|
Whatever made you mad enough |
|
On the promenade you can |
|
Give it a rest |
|
Give it a seat |
|
Or in the glass you can cut your feet |
|
Pop a knee |
|
Flesh torn |
|
And everything else seems |
|
A little worse for worn |
|
A simple thing, I admit |
|
Out I never did figure it |
|
I can tell that I'm about to |
|
I can tell when I'm without you |
|
I've seen you juggle |
|
I've seen your best |
|
I've seen you running out of luck you pressed |
|
I've seen the scores on how far up you fessed |
|
Until a thinner air is what you're breathing now |
|
So catch your breath |
|
Don't just stand there holding it |
|
I've seen you die a little death |
|
I'm pretty sure you were here |
|
But lately things tend to disappear |
|
Like the days I never got around to |
|
I can tell when I'm without you |
|
Psychic on the corner |
|
'Palms and Runes, Tarot and Tea' |
|
The proprietor gives matches to the girls in line |
|
For Club Diplomacy |
|
Be he's not on to me |
|
Crossed Olympic to collect my fee |
|
But there's no one in this neighborhood who |
|
I can tell when I'm without you |
|
I can tell when I'm without you |
|
I can tell when I'm without you |
