Cautious Lovers
That slender wooden matchstick slid underneath my door The flame that it was bearing carried hunger, carried warmth As it rolled into the petrol I picked myself up off the floor
He sends his honey letters from the woods His whole damn family swept out with the floods As a hard hard people live a hard hard truth etched in their blood And it's worn upon their faces like leather
Slept with a gun, close to my heart that sacred oath we took, two years apart When I go to hold you my naked mind begins to boil
Her name is Sandy, sandy's confused about the waves upon the ocean, and what lit the fuse about love and luck and gods and sex and sin
We built this house it seems a lifetime ago in a pretty little neighbourhood on a well heeled road but behind the doors and the locks and the grins Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com she's divorcing me And the skin upon my face looking weathered
I'd call you up, I'd even beg I sat and waited for that flag to be raised And the worst part is that I saw you out with another man
We're married people, married people, we're married people we're married We're married people, cautious lovers, a tragic book til we're buried We're married people, married, so don't let down your guard
In the void between paces, pockets and things left undone I will become, I will become the river i'm on When the cold rain washes the thirst from my tongue I will become, I will become the mountain I'm on With the acres, and the acres of land that I've walked I will become, I will become the Earth and the Sun
