With my hands in my pockets and my winter wayward strut
Contemplatin' strands of worry, yet undone
From a landscape smile similar to one once owned
Long ago in the east by wonderin' veteran of cobblestone
But if you can't find an answer to a very simple question that'll keep a woman up at night
Then I guess I didn't say it right
When all I should have said was that I really don't want you to go
If hearts agreed on a notion, they would conquer sorrow
There ain't tellin' what the future's got to show
But it's comin' around the bend, sooner than an angel could portend
With lips as sweet as wine and noticeably worthy
Love is back in fashion, in the here and now
Reminisce until you're tired of this lonely town
Busy yourself with the nerves that'll spread you thin
Til the ashes of desire have been scattered to the wind
We used to translate on the hours into what seemed more like minutes
Like somethin' we were born to do and without anything to prove
When all I should have said was that I really don't want you to go
Oh if hearts agreed on a notion, they would conquer sorrow
There ain't tellin' what the future's got to show
Though it rocks me to the core, more than any princess could adore a sleeping prince's sigh
Amazingly worthy of a try
You take steps forward and I'll go back
We'll talk about this and talk about that
That's the way that it aughta be
There ain't tellin' what the future's got to show
But it rocks me to the core, more than any princess could adore a sleeping prince's sigh
Amazingly worthy of a try
