Lyrics
I was hoping that you and I
Had a few more pages to turn
A few more laps around the block
Maybe we can turn back the clock
But I see distance in your eyes
You’ve already said goodbye
So, feed me some lines, tell me some lies
But please don’t make me cry
Searching for a quantum of hope
Floating in a sea of despair
I’d be so happy to be
So sad with you
Don’t worry about me my baby
Sunsets always kiss the horizon
And you know that the moon always rises
Oceans always ebb and flow
Oh, I’m a beautiful loser
Chiseled from a life of melancholy
Every day I sharpen my pencil, and
Urge my words to leap onto the page
Searching for a quantum of hope
Floating in a sea of despair
I’d be so happy to be
So sad with you
No matter how hard you try
You cannot hide your sad, sad eyes
Saddle up your sorrows my dear
Sail away to un-promised lands
I’ll leave the porch light on for you
Place your favorite slippers
Underneath your rocking chair
I’ll save for you my smile and my love
I’ll save for you my smile and my love
I’ll save for you my smile and my love
