12 - 12 Baby, I'm Sorry - NEWB VBC

Words & Strum

Today is gone and so is tomorrow
Cumbersomely juvenile, like your first night on the town
Let's not shit ourselves we 'll all will die in sorrow
Except for  you, you'll be dancing around wearing your crown

Now the fairy tale is replaced by Cock and Bull
still, the only rodeo queen (clown /cock-lover/sucker/fucker) in my dreaming is you
When I tell you this you say it brings you to tears
But when I try to kiss those lips you say that I've got to get out of here

Why do I hear you singing  at the top of your lungs
Every time I lay hidden in the yard of your house
Why did you leave me with these words in my mouth
I try holding it in but they keep coming out

Another song for the road, I'll be singing my tunes
about airplanes and car rides and heartbreak in the center of June
You'll tell me your story if I call you at noon
It's when you'll tell me you're sorry, it wasn't what you had meant to

Why do I hear you singing at the top of your lungs
Every time I lay hidden in the back of your house
Why did you leave me with these words in my mouth
I try holding it in but they keep coming out

And so, if you want to hold me                    today and be gone tomorrow
Just for old-times' sake, that'd be fine with me

But your optimism is fleeting like time keeps ticking along
and you couldn't love me just for my words and my strum
In a love-sick relationship the fault can't be blamed upon one
Your face is the ocean.... your face is the ocean... your face is the ocean

But you turn around and you're gone.

2012-06-13 Words and Strum (LIVE REhEARSAL)

I'm gonna wait until the morning comes
New kind of faith come falling all around
Shooting an arrow over the desolate moor
Don't ever remember what I was aiming for

Here we are, under the same sky
Falling apart
Equally steady and without rush

Your face in the water
Cold as the ground
Is only a beginning
The beginning of all

Closer to the Earth we have never been
Falling apart
Equally courageous and without heart

Closer to the Earth we have never been
Breath in slow-motion, take it all in
Your head among the clouds
Your feet on the ground

Falling apart
Equally deafening and without sound
