And we drove, on a wet and windy road To the coast, to a dirty seaside town Found a room, in a hotel by the sea Unpacked our bags And then she looked at me and I said 'Let me, let you, let me down again' She said 'no' 'Let me, let you, let me down again' She said 'no' 'Please draw the curtains Unplug the phone Let's mess the sheets And give our hearts a home We are both adults Our eyes are open wide Let's push away The world outside' Moving to the west end was a big, big, big mistake We lost all our money and we got mostly heartache Some nights she would sigh, and place her head upon my lap And she would cry Oh, I couldn't stop her shaking, I said 'Let me, let you, let me down again'
One more time 'Let me, let you, let me down again' She said 'no' 'Please draw the curtains Unplug the phone Let's mess the sheets And give our hearts a home We are both adults Our eyes are open wide Let's push away The world outside' 'Please draw the curtains Unplug the phone Let's mess the sheets And give our hearts a home We are both adults Our eyes are open wide Let's push away The world outside' 'Please draw the curtains Unplug the phone Let's mess the sheets And give our hearts a home We are both adults Our eyes are open wide Let's push away The world outside' 'Let me, let you, let me down again' 'Let me, let you, let me down again'
