seven years since I last saw you
And I wish it was seven more
You, you for two,
and by the end of the first
Well, the writing was on the wall
I saw a change when you
started giving time
To the girl I gave my heart to
Never confessed it at the time
But to tell you the truth,
I was sweet on you
Sweet on you, I was sweet on you
Lord knows I was sweet on you
I never confessed it at the time
But to tell you the truth,
I was sweet on you
Now to take each person in isolation
Is to take the partial as a whole
Let loose together,
your breath stole me with it
Though you'd laugh to try and hold on
Why do you feed each
other's darkness?
While he drank too hard the blues
In the night I think you're trouble
And the day I'm sweet on you
Sweet on you, I was sweet on you
Lord knows I was sweet on you
In the night I think you're trouble
And the day I'm sweet on you
We'd stay out all night dancing
To song s we didn't even know
We didn't like them either
Didn't care in the neon blue
But I was dreaming on the morning
I was waiting on the sunrise
Because in each other's presence
You become hard to recognize
Oh, in each other's presence
You've become hard to recognize
Oh, your mother always treated me kindly
She carried a sparkle in her eyes
Yours were the same, but I had now
They just tell of the stormy skies
And I wonder if she
finds peace now
Whether you still put the
color in her cheeks
Whether you moved home,
I'll bet you didn't
Whatever the weather be
like in the peaks
We'd gather round the kitchen table
Ride cooter on the stereo
We'd sing along if we were able
Little sister, mighty allow
But you never once sang with us
You just retired to your room
Oh, and if you don't
like Raikouda
How could I ever be sweet on you?
If you don't like Raikouda
How could I ever be sweet on you?
Sweet on you, sweet on you
Lord knows how I was
ever sweet on you
You didn't like the Cuban rhythm
You never liked words
that told the truth
Shame on you, shame on you
With your charred house
and your time -blown news
If I had a choice
between you and your mother
I know which one I'd choose
Oh, if I had a choice
between you and your mother
I know which one I'd choose
Cheers. So, the lights have decided
that that's the end of the set, I think.
I thought it was lightning at first.
I was like, oh, rain, that's great, you know.
