lyrics

in a farflung land
you stand
one foot in the sand

the sky is blue
and you are mine
i don’t ask you why

love me till i’m dead
you said
skin was burning red

but your heart is a locked door
i just can’t ignore
i’ll see you back on shore

she wears my shirts
my nerves
she swears that the pervs don’t care

putting the magazine away
you say
o we can’t stay

i don’t understand
was this all your plan
and hours till we land

i miss you
drink in hand
flirting with
another man

i miss you
full of grace
with your scars
and painted face

everything’s
foreign shores
broken bells
and locks on doors

i was not prepared for you

i miss you
