One two three four Its early still but the light is fading Oh Im in Brooklyn and its raining Ive been going through her old mail Oh trying to remember all the details She was smoothing the fabric of her skirt Oh she looked to me like flower in the dirt But thats only just a better way to hurt Well Ive been here with her old broom Oh Ive been sweeping up our old room And if the night brings a warning Oh I try to forget it in the morning In my dream Im standing by a door In that old blue jacket I always wore Oh now the pain is so much greater than before Well theres a town by the seaside Oh shed go swimming in the high tide And underneath that endless blanket Oh the sea disguised her every movement Oh and when I lifted up the veil Oh I was not prepared to see the serpents tail Oh and ttsso hard now to even tell the tail La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la Well maybe I was just pretending Oh I had secrets worth defending Well there were nights alone in silence Oh there were words that were like violence Oh and when she couldnt take it anymore Oh she stood up and she walked out through the door So now I dont think were getting married anymore Well Ill go its nearly daylight Oh I appreciate your incite Now Im finished with this letter Oh now Ive said it I feel better But so soon it will be sealed and on its way And Im going to get started on my day wooo Oh and its going to be different today la la la la la la la la Its going to be different la la la la la la la la If only for the one that got away
la, going, old, well, tail
