Lyrics

I've been makin' money at the grocery store So I can buy you somethin' nice when you Get back from the war You know it's true I think about you every day When I go to bed at night Well I hope that you're okay But the night's like a train; Filled up with ghosts Sing your song while the check out hosts Dances with the loose carts in the Parking lot Give everything I've got If you just kiss my face Make my black eyes burn A fool like me will never learn Speak the words I long to hear Speak them slow and clear: I love you In the meadow, the tiger spots the gray gazelle And the next thing you know, everything goes to hell Like my mind when I see you in the chapel light Try as I may, try as I might This thing comes and takes over me Like the night upon the sea Like thunder crashing down from above Like love, like love The wise man knows what a wise man's worth In the future giants will walk the earth But you and I won't see it, though We'll be somewhere in a land below With lace and feathers and grass so green Softer than what's in between our skin When the sun has left the sky When I fall into your eyes Kiss my face Make my black eyes burn A fool like me will never learn Speak the words I long to hear Speak them slow and clear: I love you
