soon you will be leaving your man

He always gets so mad things you laugh at.
"Don't get so worked up." you'd say.  but on the
back deck you admit that you haven't felt much 
like laughing lately anyway.  And so I say, "that
could change."

I noticed how you waste no time making your way
across the room. You leave a wake of tongues
still waving after you.  And it isn't no coincidence
where you finally choose to stand.  I guess soon
you will be leaving your man.

It's a sweet smile and then a denial.  Hey, you
are just trying to be nice.  But there is a meaning
to every fleeting action you unconsciously
decide.  The clocks they chime.  Now it's time.

I know you try and play it cool but there are
some thoughts you just can't hide.  Only in your
closest friends do you confide.  The way you say
you'll be seeing me, oh like it's so offhand.  I
guess soon you will be leaving your man.

You stare at me so boldly now.  You have no lack
of confidence.  It's just those lessons on sublety
you missed.  I know you dream of saving me
like I'm some plane that you couls land.  But
when you fly you'll be leaving your man.

There is nothing for which I am responsible.
Just this baggage that I kep carrying on as if
I had someone.

OK, maybe there is a woman somewhere who's still
thinking of me or a girl with coal black hair
who's haunted in her dreams.
But what they've seen, well, it wasn't me.
It was just some lie that they slept beside.
I kept this from them but I can't keep this from you.

So will you look for me in that strange, bright place.
Where the statues bloom in the park.
They don't need no rain.

Because how I ever got to you I have no idea.
It's like some secret door, well it just appeared.
So, no matter what I do from now on with my time.
you will always stay here in my mind.  I am
certain of this and I am not certain of anything.

So I want to get myself attached to something bolted down,
So that these winds of circumstance won't keep blowing me around.
To when I land to when I leave there is enough time to sleep and sing.
I keep running when all I want is to lay motionless.
