Lyrics

The water’s under the bridge now,
heaven’s halted the pouring rain,
thought of digging a ditch now, yeah,
but you know I’d go insane!
Well, you know when I left you,
I heard the train then was driving away.
What I would’ve gave then just…
just to call and come your way.

After it all,
the gambling call,
your dice they roll and fall.
Jump the gun to hit a wall,
counting pros and cons,
Askin’ yourself, “Can I go on?”
and on and on until you fear
the worst is coming on…

Well, I’ve mended the stitch now,
and I’ve cast off a wicked dame,
thoughta burnin’ the bush now, yeah,
but you know that’d be a shame!
From neglect of a paintbrush,
our colors, babe, they’ve been fading fast
Remember singing a love song, yeah,
but you know that’s in the past!

After it all,
the gambling call,
split your cards, fold to fall.
Jumped the gun to hit a wall,
counting pros and cons
Askin’ yourself, “Can I go on?”
and on and on, until you hear
them voices cryin’ on…

Say parade, everybody-body say it’s nice
It’s okay, but’d be better if the sin sufficed.
Curtain call, did you hear another coffee’s due?
Love’s alright, but’d be better with a girl like you!

Remember the last time, once, when we met?
You played the part, girl,
I was your stage set…then—
cue the lights and hear the call!
Love to you then meant nothing at all.

Say parade, everybody-body say it’s nice
It’s okay, but’d be better if the sin sufficed.
Curtain call, did you hear another coffee’s due?
Love’s alright, but’d be better with a girl like you!
