Night And Day - The Good Life

I know a girl with cuts on her legs

I think that she hates the way she was made

But we never spoke of why they were there

I just squeezed them and kissed them

Until we both felt a bit better

And now I’ve returned to the town where she dwells

That small lonely cabin her grandfather built

Suppose that’s where she’s imprisoned herself

To write all those words she’s too scared to tell

Those sad, short stories of a girl curled up in her shell

Night and day she tends to her bar

She pours the drinks, they pour out their hearts

All that sorrow and alcohol weighs hard on her thoughts

So she writes them down

She loves them all

And when we’d make love, she’d stare in my eyes

I swore we had met a thousand times

Thousands of lives

Thousands of nights

She’s written of it a thousand lines

Night and day she tends to her bar

She pours me a drink for my parched heart

All my sorrows in alcohol

She holds up the cup to my cracked lips

For a kiss
