I choose the rooms that I live in with care
The windows are small and the walls almost bare
There only one room and the walls almost bear
I listen all night for your step in the stair
But I know from your eyes
And I know from from your smile
That tonight will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For awhile
Always take the high road
The view is much better
If only there was peace around us, baby
You would hear me
And maybe it's the way that lovers do
I just want for me what I want for you
Only with the sun above us maybe
You would see me
And even if you leave, I may be fine
'Cause my heart, it has its own design
And even if you never see it, baby
You're all that I need
Maybe it's the silence in your eyes
Maybe it's the lilac when you're shy
Maybe it's the mystery of your love
Nearly a whole day gone by again
Still nothing to report
Sitting, drinking, superficially thinking
About the rinsed out blonde on my left
She told me , later
She’s machine operator
She said she liked the way I held the microphone
I said my my
Like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead in my web
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Got to be better there than here
