Lyrics
Grazing at bordellos in the heart of town
Me in my tuxedo, you a pretty gown
Now you're nestling down under another's wing
I forgot to take accountings for the shape of things
We danced away the orchestra playing on and on
Last waltz came around and then we had to go home
Now you're nestling down under another's wing
I forgot to take accountings for the shape of things
Loneliness held me in its tiny frozen clutch
I'd walk the streets of the city, I'd catch the midnight bus
I'd search the darkened alleys held by the city lights
But neon signs above my eyes repeat the same phrase twice
The same phrase twice
Your eyes were warm, we stood beneath the harbor lights
Foghorn whistled, moon of God stole away the night
Now you're nestling down under another's wing
I forgot to take accountings for the shape of things
I didn't see it coming through those tender days
Like smoke caught in the wind, girl, you left me all ablaze
Now you're nestling down under another's wing
I forgot to take accountings for the shape of things
