you're very beautiful he whispered at the girl on the beach
it's amazing how the days slip away unfurling into a week
she didn't speak. or even smile or reply,
he repeated it again but the waves swallowd all his words alive
sandpipers chasing the torn paper edge of the waves
another gust of wind paints he hair across her puzzled face
one of these days, he's going to escape and change the world
come back to his hometown with a trophy and a girl
a girl like this with soft hands and a wise kiss
she'll teach him how to dance and dance her figertips across her lips
but this, this is just another awkward pause of beauty care
her eyes uncomfortable infront of all his flaws
he feels himself getting older in little bits and patches
used to spell out love in them but now the letters come out all backwards
his pants never fit him right no more, forgotten how to cook
used to take the room and run but now he's happy with a second look
pardon me miss, could you blow me a kiss
last night a couple lovers tossed each other of this bridge
i think i better just call it all quits
i used to run this town but it just ain't the same place that it ever was
he cut his finger just yesterday trace a slender line in red
and watched it drain into the sink the only thing that's left
a fingertip tipped down and drew another have a pint into
a perfect poirtrat of himself subtle beauty in still life
everyone asked about what happened to your hand
"just another accident cutting vegetables i guess"
everything's a trap these days we're all working to prevert
no one ever thinks of escape, just take the hit and band out the dents
you don't know why he's standing here or how he got this far
up the beach and out of reach a running rusted car
the waves are louder than a train crashing down upon his chest
he can't be dragged down like the rest and wait patient just for his death
taking off his hat he steps and brushes her hair away
kisses her cheek gently and askes her for her name
she bows her head and smiles a bit and takes a shaky hand
he has no idea just what she said with the waves crashing in his head
pardon me miss, could you blow me a kiss
last night a couple lovers tossed each other of that bridge
i think i better just call it all quits
i used to run this town but it just ain't the same place that it ever was
pardon me miss, could you blow me a kiss
last night a couple lovers tossed each other of this bridge
i think i better just call it all quits
i used to run this town but it just ain't the same place that it ever was
