Suddenly Afternoons

Lyrics

Suddenly afternoons seem much longer As I ponder the reason for these five paper mache walls And suddenly perfect nails seem quite useless As I undress for no one but the shower We wore our love so proud You wore that smile too loud And suddenly afternoons make me call out to those boy scouts Be prepared for those sandstorms and cyclones And suddenly I get caught hiding in a teacup Oh, you say "Stand up, and be the woman I love again" We wore our love so proud You wore that smile too loud A little time, a little time, a little time To remember the plan Look straight ahead, straight ahead, straight ahead Through that faded tin can A little time, a little time, a little time, a little time What was the point my friend Chicken you run again Chicken you run And suddenly all I see is your green raincoat And that sailboat and your umbrella that both of us hated to use Suddenly all those love songs don't seem foolish And I notice that I'm singing every goddamn word We wore our love so proud You wore that smile too loud
