Lazy Days and Cigarettes
Folder:
Music
Down by the shoreline of the sea
My one true love, he waits for me,
Amid the water deep and blue
Reflecting all the purest hues
That stretch across the broad horizon
Far beyond the reach of earthly men
In this world and the next,
None are better than the rest.
But I'll hold him to my chest and let
All my love spill our regret
Upon the twisting sands of time
That pour out into every rhyme
And memory of photographs,
Sleepless nights, and cheshire cats
That grin along the edges of the moon.
But lazy days and cigarettes,
Circus clowns and castanets,
Are all I'm lookin' for.
I don't want for too much more.
And if you think I'm blind for
Wanting to leave it behind
To go chase shadows, smoke, and mirrors,
Simply know my vision's clearer
When moving faster than the wind,
Feeling sunlight on my skin,
Because I know that I can win
All the dreams within my future
And I know I'll get there sooner
On my own if I just try.
Please don't worry, please don't cry.
It's just a different state of mind,
And although you look resigned,
Surely I've no need to remind you
That you're coming with me too.
Because lazy days and cigarettes,
Circus clowns and castanets,
Are all I'm looking for.
I don't want for too much more.
