Blue Rodeo - Floating lyrics

These late night conversations Leave a strange taste Like French cigarettes And these coloured drinks That you keep on throwing at me Just keep on reminding me That I came to forget So now every night You insist on reminding me Of my lost possibilities And the stains on the wall Well I don't mean to complain Still it hurts just the same And both of us know the leaves will fall on their own Just throw me a line That's all that I ask It's sink or swim and I'm going fast I need love and it's you And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool Yeah you tell me Life is for living It's best in the giving But it's so hard to be free Still I do my best But you refuse my gift Now all we share is a collection of tears Just throw me a line That's all that I ask It's sink or swim and I'm going fast I need love and it's you And I feel like William Holden floating in a pool
