Everything But The Girl - Acoustic (2001) by Everything But The Girl (보컬) on maniadb.com

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Oh it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
And with the way you look I understand
That you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not going to get too sentimental
Like those other sticky valentines
'Cause I don't know if you've been loving somebody
I only know it isn't mine
Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true

Well I see you've got a husband now
Did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake?
You used to hold him right in your hand
I'll bet he took all he could take
Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way

Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh, Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true...

Outside another yellow moon
punched a hole
in the nighttime, yes
climb through your window
and down the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
with all of those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of
their little worlds
You wave your hand and they
scatter like crows
They have nothing that can
capture your heart
They're just thorns
without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one you chose
to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me, can't
you hear me now
Will I see you tonight on a
downtown train
Every night it's just the same,
you leave me lonely now
I know your window
and I know it's late
I know your stairs
and your doorway
I walk down your street
and past your gate
I stand by the light
at the four way
You watch them as they fall
they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival,
but they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a
downtown train
every night,
it's just the same,
you leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight
on a downtown train
All of my tears just fall like
rain, all upon the downtown train

A summer evening I walk past the window
Baby's crying; Someone's cooking dinner
There's laughter on the TV
Someone's learning the violin.
How at home, it heals
At times like this, I feel that

CHORUS:
I would like to live like anybody else
In one place
And I could be happy and fulfilled
In one place

So I get the map out
And draw a line of where we've been
It goes thru sea and sky
Twenty-five planes this year
And it's only July
This is not some Bible, like "On The Road"
It's just a song about coming home
And whether

CHORUS:
I would like to live like anybody else
In one place
And I could be happy and fulfilled
In one place

And you know that I have found
That I'm happiest weaving from town to town
And you know Bruce said
we should keep moving 'round
Maybe we all get too tied down, I don't know
Hell, I don't know
I'm happy to be home (Still alive)
Happy to be home

In the end, if you take care
You can be happy or unhappy anywhere

CHORUS:
And I think we maybe all rely too much
On one place
I know I never would deny the need
For one place

So I get the map out (get the map out)
Yeah I get the map out (get the map out)
C'mon, get the map out (get the map out)
Get the map out (get the map out)

Apron strings hanging so empty,
crazy things my body tells me, I want
someone to tie to my apron strings.

Apron strings waiting for you,
pretty things that I could call you,
I want someone to tie to my lonely apron strings.

Your baby looks just like you when you were young,
and he looks at me with eyes that shine and I wish that he were mine,
then I go home to my apron strings, cold and lonely,
for time brings thoughts that only will be quiet
when someone clings to my apron strings.

And I'll be perfect in my own way when you cry I will be there,
I'll sing to you and comb your hair,
all your troubles I will share.

For apron strings can be used for other things
than what they're meant for,
and you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings,
you'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings.

Me and Bobby D don't get along that easily.
You told the world, "Be free, love life".
Tell me, is it true you beat your wife?
You see, me and Bobby D don't get along that easily.
You told the world, "Skip rules fave fun".
Knocked her from here to kingdom come?
How many girls have you had today?
And how many bottles have you downed today?
And while you're on the skids, who's minding the kids?

Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss,
don't worry your pretty head about this.

Me and Saint Jack K never had too much to say.
It's easy driving with your feet,
with some good ol' girl in the passenger seat
watching the road all day,
"Oh honey, what funny things you do say."
But while you're out of your head
who's making the bed?

Go to sleep Bobby D, here's a kiss,
don't worry your pretty head about this.
Go to sleep Saint Jack K,
don't worry your tiny head today

Me and old Bobby D don't get along that famously
A saviour and a seer? Maybe,
but he never meant that much to me.
Sure, I'd love a wild life,
but every wild man needs a mother or wife.
The seven seas you roam
and who's waiting at home?

Baby come home, I miss the sound of the door
Your step on the stair's not there to wake me no more
And every day's like Christmas Day without you
It's cold and there's nothing to do

And it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone
I've been behaving myself for too long
'Cause I don't like sleeping
or painting the town on my own
So please come on home

Baby, what's keeping you all this time
You're wasting your days out there in the sunshine
And who can I turn to if you believe still
That England don't love you and she never will

For it's mighty quiet here now that you're gone
And I've been behaving myself for too long
I don't like sleeping
Or watching TV on my own
So please come on home

I won't try to stop you
When you speak of the past
Doubt is over now
And I can join in when you laugh
Facination makes us ask for more
Than we'd like to know
I needn't explain
I think you know

Reaassure me when my hearts
Not bold enough to bear her name
If you were in my shoes
And scared I would do the same
And though I may ask
There's no need for past details
Although I may laugh alone
My courage fails
Did you know

See how I've changed now
My heads so clear
Still there are some things
That I don't want to hear
There must be so much I know
That you cannot forget
And I mustn't wish your life began
The day we met

They say as we go remind you
Of when you were here before
So you talk and tell me
You don't think about it anymore
There is something I know
Hasn't quite been left behind
So I'll ask you once again
To prove that I don't mind
To prove that I don't mind
