lyrics

Earl Gray
November 10, 2013
Brooklyn, NY

I said, “Darling I’m tired of sleeping.”
She said, “Babe, I don’t know what to do.
I said, “I’m doing my best.”
She said, “Just try to rest.”
I said, “I can’t I’m all caught up in you.”

When she asked why I said it,
I told her, “Forget it.
I woke up on the wrong side of the light.”
She said, “Baby, that’s stupid,
Quit lying about cupid
You sleep on that side every night.”

You can’t lie when somebody’s watching
‘cause she always knows the truth.
I guess I don’t mind
Leaving lying behind
Let it be a thing of my youth.

I used to think New York was made for heartache
For mourning all the ones who washed ashore.
I walked where the wind blows
And stared out the windows
And thought that love had come and gone before.

But then when I met ‘er
She told me you better.
Come one in, out of the cold
I said, “Ok, alright.
If you stay the night.”
And now I might watch her grow old.

You can’t cry when your baby’s watching
‘cause she always knows you’re okay.
I guess I don’t mind leaving crying behind.
‘Cause goddamn I’m in love for today.

When I’m really awake
And I’m makin’ the bacon,
I drink coffee, she drinks Earl Gray.
Then we walk through the city
And her hips are so pretty
I get ready for loving the day.

We’ve got a room with four walls now
And everyone calls.
Somehow word got out we can sing.
I’d be just fine with quiet,
But I promised I’d try it,
So I’m gonna fight like a king.
