The pollen stains from your "I'm sorry" flowers
The love we made
Hours and hours
What a big mistake
Hardly now do I ever think of you
But I'll forgive myself
'Cause there was no way of knowing
Until you showed me
That there are worse things than lonely
And I won't hesitate
To at least learn something from you, you
I've got cobblestones and castles and crowds to elbow through
Corners, floors, and couches that I could curl up to
I deserve every hole in my shoe
But when I come back, I won't come back to you
All the friends we made
You can go 'head and keep them
I've got who I need
If for no better reason than that
I won't fight you babe
And there's more where they came from
And that photograph where we managed to smile
The bed we made, your skin was like fire
But nowadays, the sea-breeze is holding me
On mountains, and moons, and meadows
That splash around in endless light
Ferries, trains, and buses rockabye me through night
I deserve every hole in my shoe
But when I come back, I won't come back to you
Pubs and pints and postcards
Lazy fog that billows through
Hounds tooth, stripes, and paisley
Teary eyes of silvery blue
I deserve every hole in my shoe
But when I come, I won't come back to you
When I come back, I won't come back to you
