Pay phones all were ringing as the crowd went roarin' by Lovely dancers swaying to an island lullaby Beside the southern ocean taking stock of what's to be Writing you this letter that you'll probably never see
But I can't help but be Ruled by inconsistency Not unique just distantly in love
Tried to phone from Paris thinking Things could be arranged Me and you could rendezvous But I found your number changed So I drove to San Remo where The crazy painter dwells And toasted our old photographs Still up there on his shelf
But I can't help but be Ruled by my antiquity Not unique just distantly in love I can't be the one to fill Your times and all your places I can't be the one to fill Your blanks and empty spaces
I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay That you had a new lover who had Stolen you away That could be be the reason that I never got in touch And may present slight problems If he loves you half as much
As I who can't help but be Ruled by my antiquity Not unique just distantly in love You know I can't help but be Part of my own philosophy Not unique just distantly in loveTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
