The Taxi Ride

It's clear to me now I understand A jump of cards in An idle man's hand Oh, oh, you're sleeping This is the story of your Leaving I can win you with reason I can make you agree The way that I love you It only makes sense that you love me But down through the sad facts I'm sifting You did not think this a without help from me I've called a taxi It's coming at dawn I said, '€œSend the best one'€ It's a long, long, lonely ride To find the perfect lover for your lover And the morning light's just breaking I thought I heard someone screaming outside But it was only a bus pulling away Love is a strange thing It depends what one gives And sometimes to give means Give someone away Oh, oh, you're sleeping The same sad pillow Said you're a leaving I move with your breathing I breathe with your beauty Your sweet heaviness Your deep voice, your soft neck I press my face, did you call me? It's only the trees outside flailing It's only the sirens that are wailing Hurry up driver You're going too slow Can't you go faster? It's a long, long, lonely ride To find the perfect lover for your lover And the morning light's just breaking
