Live Nudes - Better Roads Lyrics

Darling don't you look so sad
There are better roads unpaved
The ocean waits for pirates
And the sailors pray for waves

Please don't play your songs of fear
I'll hold you in my arms
To silhouette the passion bliss
That has broken us apart

And now you want to leave
And now you want to make me cry
You want to leave
You want to say goodbye

I stood at the window
And I begged a goodbye
I watched as she watched me
A tear fell from my eye
Her house is so empty
A fire I burn
A dream lost in recall
As labyrinths turn

Now you want to leave
You want to make me cry
You want to leave
You want to say goodbye

And I wait
Because I've never been told
How this room
And your touch could grow cold

And I wait
And I wait
Because freedom's such a simple word
For those who can adapt
To sleeping on the only train
That is running out of track

Please don't play your songs of fear
I'll hold you in my arms
To silhouette the passion bliss
That has broken us apart
