it's still you...
(专辑: Songs From The Sunroom - 2017)
I
come home late after closing the
coffee shop Make myself some dinner then get to drinking And Peter down at the
corner store The
young man, our friend remember? Well, he's moving on, he don't work there anymore I
went by last night and he was gone And I
just wish I
could tell you Yeah, I
just wish I
could tell you Wake up phone call from the
LAPD Say they wanna talk to me about the
theft Can't say I
haven't been keeping busy I
couldn't write a
song, so I
tried to play that song That we used to sing together bout sailing Couldn't make it through the
first verse Without breaking down and crying What the
hell is wrong with me? Hey I
just wish we could sing it Yeah, I
just wish we could sing it To answer your letter, most days I'm doing fine But sometimes I
still get deep, down, dark and feeling low But now I
wear sunglasses and a
big jacket And get so high that I
can't see the
bottom, it helps a
little And when it's too hard to handle I
call Carlos and we talk it out But I
just wish I
could call you Yeah, I
just wish I
could call you Remember that time we rode the
train to San Mateo And met up with my mom and her husband She'd just found $20 on the
ground So she took us out to lunch, and it was raining After that we said goodbye, and walked down to the
tea gardens Beneath our broken umbrella and when we got there it was closed We did our best to enjoy ourselves despite it all But by then the
sun was setting on our problems I
want to say sorry Yeah, I
just wanna say sorry I
got this whole trunk of love poetry between us That I
can't put away, or throw away, or even begin to think about So it just sits in the
window, waiting for the
day when some new little rose is gonna be heading on over And I'll just sweep it away, sweep our memories up Like I'm making my bed, without thinking Just like I'm making my bed, without thinking And that's no way to say thank you Yeah, that's no way to say thank you That whole thing about the
LAPD, it's not as bad as it sounds I
just cashed a
check for somebody that turned out to be stolen And I
think I
did it 'cause I
was lonely I
got the
call today that the
bank's gonna pay restitution But there was a
while there where I
thought I
was gonna get thrown in a
cell or be on the
line for 5000 dollars And you don't know the
first thing about it, beginning, middle or end But it's still you that arrest me and robs me Still you that arrest me and robs me Still you that arrest me and robs me Still you that arrest me and robs me Still you that arrest me and robs me Still you that arrest me and robs me Still you that arrest me and robs me Still you that arrest me and robs me
