The 1st time I saw you. I did try hard to burn my eyes. Life was but a sad dream. I was but a sad breath. But you were something like sand. When sunlight hits the sea. The 2nd time I saw you. I was about to take the road. I asked would you wait for me. You said life ain't a highway. Better if we'd been born. As siamese songbirds. The 3rd time I saw you. We went to the zoo. All steady hot beers sorrowful monkeys. Big eyes laughing. With I had not held hands. The 4th time I saw you. It was like I was gonna die. I was waiting outside. You just had a new guy. Asked me why I I. Son won't you come along?. We have no time for another song. Won't you sing along?. We have no sea child. The 5th time I saw you. He was traveling abroad. And your eyes they were not here. You just made new friends. While I tried to stop with cigarrettes. The 6th time I saw you. I was properly insane. For the whisky I had drunk. The drugs I'd taken. Gimme just one chance you will realise. The 7th time I saw you. You were married again. If I had just once kissed you. Things wouldn't be the same. Surely the sky'd be different. The 8th time I saw you. I was strummin' the guitar. & your ears were not for me. My ears were a-bleeding. The waiter was blind. Please someone blind my eyes. The last time I saw you. It was about five a.m.. You approached me in a strange car. Finally kissed me. Then did wave goodbye. Before you disappear. Sometimes I ache babe. Or I ain't hard enough to stand. But the days they just drown me. Coming back from work. Having sour breakfast. Seasick from your chest.
