The Last Time I Saw You

歌詞

The 1st time I saw you I did try hard to burn my eyes Life was but a sad dream I was but a sad breath But you were something like sand When sunlight hits the sea The 2nd time I saw you I was about to take the road I asked would you wait for me You said life ain't a highway Better if we'd been born As siamese songbirds The 3rd time I saw you We went to the zoo All steady hot beers, sorrowful monkeys Big eyes laughing Wish I had not held hands The 4th time I saw you It was like I was gonna die I was waiting outside You just had a new guy Asked me why, I, I Son, won't you come along? We have no time for another song Won't you sing along? We have no sea, child The 5th time I saw you He was traveling abroad And your eyes, they were not here You just made new friends While I tried to stop with cigarrettes The 6th time I saw you I was properly insane For the whisky I had drunk The drugs I'd taken Gimme just one chance you will realise The 7th time I saw you You were married again If I had just once kissed you Things wouldn't be the same Surely the sky'd be different The 8th time I saw you I was strummin' the guitar & your ears were not for me My ears were a-bleeding The waiter was blind Please someone blind my eyes The last time I saw you It was about six a.m. You approached me in a strange car Finally kissed me Then did wave goodbye Before you disappear Sometimes I ache, babe Or I ain't hard enough to stand But the days they just drown me Coming back from work Having sour breakfast Seasick from your chest
