Sit down my love of open spaces
And greet my love that's all been spent
I'm going to tell you both a story
About some memories that I've dreamt
See I've lost love in many places
Not least the streets of São Paulo
One friend especially I did make there
A tenth floor window took her home
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
But I don't
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So hush the shadows in the oak tree
Be still the curlew on the moor
My heart has fallen by the wayside
I cannot claim her anymore
So don your duffel coats quite slowly
And this drop jury shall adjourn
And on the streets of old São Paulo
I watched my baby being burned
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
But I don't
Sometimes I could cry nine times
Drop my bags and run for miles
Sometimes I could live nine lives
But I won't, but I wooooon't
God knows what you can do with this, just strum the chords really...
Have you ever been thrown across the water
Have you ever been thrown across the water
Have you ever been thrown across the water
When there's no skin left on your bones......
Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone
Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone
Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone
Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone
Ah, get me a doctor, get me a doctor, who will get rid of my bones
Oh, get me a lover, get me a lover, who will leave my little head alone
Ah, get me a soldier, get me a soldier, who will fight me a pointless war
Ah, get me an exit, I need an exit, be it window, or be it door
Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stoooone
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.. (lol)
Ah, get me a lawyer, get me a lawyer, who will sue the world for me
Ah, get me a poison, get me a poison, get me a poison who isn't me
Cos I'm getting tired, I'm getting tired, of my stupid little face
I, don't belong here, don't belong here, don't belong in this horse-race
Na na na na na na na na naa naa.....
Na na na na na na na na naa naa.....
Na na na na na na na na naa naa.....
Na na na na naaaaaaa naaaaaaaaa.....
Oooooooooohhh.....
Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone
Thrown across the water, thrown across the water, thrown across the water like a stone...
Hope you enjoyed that :-)
