Paul Kelly - Careless lyrics

How many cabs in New York City?
How many angels on a pin?
How many note on a saxaphone?

And how many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times did you call my name
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in?

I know,
I've been,
Careless

I've been wrapped up in a shell
Nothing could get through to me
Acted like I didnt know
I had friends and family
I saw worry in their eyes
Didn't look like fear to me

I know,
I've been,
Careless
I lost,
My tenderness,
I've been
Careless
I took
Bad care of this

Like a mixture in a bottle
Like a frozen over lake
Like a long time faded smile
I got so hard I had to crack
You were there you held the line
Your the one that brought me back

I know,
I've been,
Careless
I lost
My tenderness
I've been
Careless
I took
Bad care of this

How many cabs in New York City?
How many angels on a pin?
How many note on a saxaphone?
And how many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times did you call my name
Knock at the door but you couldn't get in?
How many stars in the Mily Way?
How many ways can you lose a friend?
