All of these grateful looks All these grateful eyes All the furious stares and the fretful sighs
Promising everything To everyone We'll be back soon You're my favorite one
And I'll keep it quiet I'll hold you dear The whispering fills the ear
Tell me you'll stay We would have such fun And the lie, you don't need anyone
And the screams, the wails, and the call The headiness of the fall Ten-thousand miles from where we began I fell asleep with a picture in hand It was all for a woman
Say that you're grateful for the time alone Two years away and I don't miss home And everyone asks you if you still think of her So you smile politely and you demur
But then all at once your head starts to swim And you can feel her breath on your skin If I let you stay, the same spot today She's above you, below you in ways
And you're shivering cold Like you're just 10 years old And she's lying asleep in your bed
And you're standing beside her The light from inside her Filling up the darkness in your head It was all for a woman
You've drowned in the teasing You've forgotten the reason The muse inspired the art
You'd give anything for For her to say them once more The words you believed at the start
Ten-thousand miles from where it began Falling asleep with a picture in hand And it was all... it was all For the look in her eyes Of the promise of the lie of a womanTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
