I can't tell you where I've been now darling   There are hawks inside my head   And every smile and every good thing   Are picked at 'til they are dead   "I love you" was all she said   That's all she said         From that old street   To that new house   To those beautiful hills inside your blouse   To the rain that kept falling   And those years off the rails   When we smiled like two sailors With holes in our sails   When I turned to a coma with a black hole in my chest   When a kiss was the cure and I'd save my breath   When you'd walk to the bedroom and I'd fall on the couch   If I wasted your beauty I'll ignite it somehow   'Cause a dream can be cruel   When it haunts you like this   With your eyes like a deer   And the words from your lips   What I'm trying to say is   I was afraid that you'd leave   So I slept with my failures and I started to grieve      I started to grieve   I started to grieve
