lyrics

So you bought a ticket out
I won’t hear from you again
You say you never knew a man without friends
Or at least ones the likes of you

And I'm not the one you’re looking for
Cause I won’t leave this town alone
I heard about your New York City
And the things it got from you all the things you said it got from you

Come on you can’t do this to me yet
And I can hear in your voice that you've got one round left

I never asked for common sense
Or the things worth talking through
I'll ask for your opinion when I've got nothing else to prove
And when I've got nothing left to lose

We both know that you'll cry someday
When the city lights lead you astray
If I were you I'd run away
And I'd look for me at the end of the day

Let the cold wind bring you home

This music is just lovely. There's a track on Me Oh My that goes 'you're my blue jeans, my cold beer, my favourite easy chair' and listening to this band is just like that. Sinking back into a big warm musical hug. rayg63
