First encounters of a simpler kind
Damn, it was easy, I was so surprised
One nostalgic melancholy moment
Felt it even as it passed me by
The tinny music from the radio,
The first snow in a while
A cup of coffee as the dawn was breaking
The cigarettes inside
I like the way you're slow to smile
I like your eyes, I like you stoned and wild
And if the night-time makes you lightning
Well then I'm thunder in the distant sky
But every morning is a different story
Let me see you in the light
Is this a dream, some other dark confusion
Or someone else's life?
It's alright
It's alright
Load us up on wells and cheap champagne
We're gonna shake this thing awake somehow
We'll make a scene, be seasick strangers
Turning in the low light of a lonesome crowd
I've been brooding for a long time baby
But I want to to shut it out
I want to hide behind the big delusion
Don't let me down!
