Album: Shade of the Trees
Living it up downtown,
your tongue a little loose.
Tales of love and conquest
you can't lose.
The guy behind the counter
shakes his head at you,
he's seen a lot of lucky faces
go from red to blue.
Jim rolls in with the good new
like he's so good at doin' -
makin' wine outta water -
whistlin' a tune.
You were too filled up to hear the song,
your cup was running over,
you should have been running home.
A town talks.
Will you listening, are you wise enough to know
where to put your ears?
Love walks.
If you're not watching, you'll end up alone
with all your talking tears.
You framed your dreams together
over all these years,
smiling pictures in the hallway up above the stairs.
The shadows in the corner
make it painfully clear
she don't need your understanding
she just wants you here.
A town talks.
Will you listening, are you wise enough to know
where to put your ears?
Love walks.
If you're not watching, you'll end up alone
with all your talking tears.
Tears.
Living up downtown
your tongue a little loose.
For all I hear you saying
what's to say about you?
A town talks. (x6)
