Why do we always meet on the dark side of the street
On the emptiest corners of this town
All the talks at closing time standing under neon lights
Then embrace 'til there's no-one around
You say give me a village that's the size of a cup
Or the promise of a city that'll swallow me up
Though there's nothing I can say
That'll keep you from going away
You'll come back to me
I wish we could go back to laying coins on the tracks
Lie down and wait for a train to appear
The bright sun in our eyes like a graceful disguise
And a silence in which we both disappear
You say let's take a boat or pick a random road
Let's just listen to what life has to say
Though there's nothing I can do
For me to hang on to you
You'll come back to me
