Sunglasses At The Wedding

(album: Sideways To New Italy - 2020)

Sunglasses at the wedding
You stand there
In brand new suntan
You're freezing
In the election season
You're counting up the numbers
Twenty minutes to save the world

You're caught by the window
The name you can't remember
You said four-thirty
You're early, you walk slowly
You spend time alone
You can't find the reason
You work on your breathing
Out and in, and out again

You used to cut up all the pictures
In the pages of the Leader

Why are we always the last ones to leave?
And we fade in the marbled morning
And we're breaking A.M. promises again

Sunglasses at the wedding
You stand there
In brand new suntan
You're freezing
In the election season
You're counting up the numbers
Twenty minutes to save the world

You used to cut up all the pictures
In the pages of the Leader

Why are we always the last ones to leave?
And we fade in the marbled morning
And we're breaking A.M. promises again
