Float Away

(album: Creatures Of Leisure - 1983)

I came straight home, for a change
Without drinking in bars 'til I could hardly stand
I came straight on home, for a change
Without thinking I could find you moist in the arms of another man

I felt so empty that I thought I'd float away
I never thought that I would ever hear you say,
"You can't stay here any more. I don't want you any more.
'Cause I found somebody else to love."

I came straight home, for a change
Without talking to every girl that came my way
I came straight on home, for a change
Without walking through every door that looked okay

I felt so empty that I thought I'd float away
I never thought that I would ever hear you say,
"You can't stay here any more. I don't want you any more."

You paid me back, in kind
For spending so many lonely nights and days
I would go back in time
If you would change your mind
Invite me to stay with you.

I came straight home, for a change
Without drinking in bars 'til I could hardly stand
I came straight on home, for a change
Without thinking I could find you moist in the arms of another man

I felt so empty that I thought I'd float away
I never thought that I would ever hear you say,
"You can't stay here any more. I don't want you any more.
'Cause I found somebody else to love."

... to love
