Two Of Us 03:02
Two of us Riding nowhere Over the hills, Looking for something. It won’t be that hard. When we are alone. You’re a tall drink of water, And we’re a long way from home. Hard to say Sun in your face You signal your worries, I say, “Go your own way.” You cry out, Don’t leave me clothed. You’re a tall drink of water And we’re a long way from home. I don’t need any reminder I laid it all at your gate. I’m working on a love without blinders We bought our crowns, but we – never did reign. Lips like a shell, I take your jacket. Don’t tell my sister My reasons were elaborate. I say, sing me a song, It’ll ease my approach. You’re a tall drink of water, And we’re a long way from home. I stand up. I twist about. Uneasy chair, Its legs give out. I hold air in my lungs, Watching you through a blindfold. You’re a tall drink of water, And we’re a long way from home.

Buy me a ship While your lover’s at sea. Ten cups of medicine Ten cups for me. Hard to keep All your love on the line. Like gold, Refined seven times. I’m going out in cloud Of thunder and smoke. Come on with me Turn off your radio You took your own way And your first lover’s life. Like gold, Refined seven times. Your words as art They whisper and remain. Like faded oil cans, Like New Year’s Eve Champagne. Your image is broken, It closed the Guggenheim. Like gold, Refined seven times.

Lock the door Eat the key Oh your troubled mind Means nothing to me. Can’t explain The one you choose Oh your Cheating Heart It’s gonna tell on you. She ran past The camera’s eye Oh you cry, you weep And the tears won’t dry. Oh you won’t change You hate to lose Oh your Cheating Heart Gonna tell you And I Want to grind you up. And I Want to grind you up. And I Want to grind you up Until your memory is harder than dust. Harder than dust. The pretty one The burning tongue I can smell your sweetness It must because your young. The neon’s red. The cross is blue. Oh your Cheating Heart It’s gonna tell on you.

You were all right About the way it would all end. Me locking you out. You going home. I stayed up all night Wondering who I could send Nobody talking Nobody friends. Oh, this evening so soon Oh, this evening so soon Oh, this evening so soon Oh, this evening so soon There was the sky There was breath of the sea There was the sixth day That you fell in love. I set the stars In this wide expanse. I planted the tree You pressed against. Oh, this evening so soon Oh, this evening so soon Oh, this evening so soon Oh, this evening so soon

Won’t you swim with me Past the ocean break? Well you look like a good lover Like you know how to give and take. I will swim with you Come on now hold out your hand. I’m new to the water Spent all my days on dry land. Got You On My Mind Got You On My Mind Let’s hold each other close So nobody will be left behind. Sleepless Nights Oh they come in time. As long as I got You baby on my mind. I don’t have nothing left I don’t have nothing at all. This is the way love works Sometimes you lose and you fall. My heart is cold Colder than the ocean floor I can’t fight these battles Can’t win against the ocean roar. Got You On My Mind Got You On My Mind Let’s hold each other close So nobody will be left behind. Sleepless Nights Oh they come in time. As long as I got You baby on my mind. You were a good lover Maybe the best. Love is a way it can kill It can caress. But if you can track it down You’ll never be the same. Walking the Earth Wondering, when it’s going to call your name – again. Got You On My Mind Got You On My Mind Let’s hold each other close So nobody will be left behind. Sleepless nights Oh they come in time. As long as I got You baby on my mind.

I was beat up on the rail With the silver fox’s tail When I saw the photograph It reminded me of you. I was beat up in the park - oh well Stumbling after dark - don’t tell Was it your holy order or your perfect type of love? Sara, I could not recall. Those busted trains in Senegal. Sara, I wish it was false But for your love I’d trade ‘em all. At the last hour of the day, It was the most peculiar way You leaned in close announced the - Ending of our love. I was beat up in the park - oh well Stumbling after dark - don’t tell Was it your holy order or your perfect type of love? Sara, I could not recall. Those busted trains in Senegal. Sara, I wish it was false But for your love I’d trade ‘em all.

The morning comes She puts on her raincoat She’s all covered up With a band across her hair Tied up gloves, Black boots, and straight leg jeans “I don’t know where I’m going, But I’m going somewhere.” She walks downtown Down into the station And is immediately robbed By a man in a black leather coat He pushes her down and says, “You’re the victim of your mess. Better stand up straight. Better do what you’re told.” You got some bad blood On you. There ain’t nobody Looking out for you. You might have some bad blood Working out on you. She walks back home Through the unlocked door And he’s sleeping there He pretends not to know She runs upstairs Brushes her hair, pushes the window up She wants to run. She’s got nowhere to go.

You were such a part of me And I of you You were living up on Crosby Street I was helping you through. And your walls were so silent And you held no regret Oh baby, you were there And you were more than enough. Wasted your holiday Hoping it would last. We pawned your unsold work I didn’t think it happen so fast. And we slept the day away Like two baronets Oh baby, you were there And you were more than enough. I hope you’re doing so well Living in your rooftop hotel When I come begging back to you. The seas part lonesome now The lights flare up somehow They come up for your close-up now Like you want them to. Do you still wake up early Call it for your own? Moon crashing past your shoulder Better left alone. Was it the money? I didn’t think - So, you had a new dress. Oh baby, you were there And you were more than enough.
