 Auberge Blacksheep - released 2006 Dearest, when you called dearest when you called my what a relief the photo from the phone and the counting of the teeth by the crook of the smile by the length of the nose you could read between the words where the truth was weak and folded the business of fear the politics of cheap the captains of the ship all ate themselves to sleep Peterborough lonely at the only clawing through the smoke the poets so hip they don't even write poems if i knew what was wrong i'd let you know buy me a drink; its no good to drink alone so filled with tired i just need some sleep its not that i've been crying its just that my eyes leak if i knew what was wrong i'd let you know buy me a drink; its no good to drink alone refrain fresh out of get away plans all the boys with their sticky hands my beer smile meets your rye cheer who here has had the harder year? no one I guess were you here when the water came? do you remember when the flood filled the basements up with water covered windows up in mud and its lonely at the only 4 nights out of three its not that i've been crying just that my eyes leak Montreal montreal road side flare third floor walkup in your underwear framed just like a picture hung the sadness grew and it dulled the love cigaretted and coffee kissed you'd gone down for days for less than this city weighed tonne per tonne you said you were tired of talking yourself down all the friends flew back to pay last respects christmas time montreal all friends flew back in the papers the column reads december 1993 blue and white lights in windows snow wraps the city soft bath jubilee jazz song dances slowly leaning in past the window just to see what can be seen Maybe you should drive it sounded less like don maclean more like lenny bruce and its hard to get my head around your idea of truth the truth put on display the truth brought out from fear be careful who you keep as friends dear maybe you should drive i'm too gone to hold the line maybe you should drive |
