Girlyman - Hold It All at Bay lyrics

When we arrive you still won't be there You'll sleep through the drive and storm up the stairs The sea breeze, it frees me But you are like a gale wind, mad and unaware You'll drive by and away, you're leaving today, I wish you were ok Last night was just another night It never seemed quite right to hold it all at bay We could talk all night and still you'd feel this way You can't hear my words, you have too much to say I don't want a manhunt Just let me have the kiss, she gave it to me straight You'll drive by and away, you're leaving today, I wish you were ok Last night was just another night It never seemed quite right to hold it all at bay You love to walk the Appalachian Trail You can feel your heart as smooth as a snail The mountains, your darlings But better to love than have something to scale You'll drive by and away, you're leaving today, I wish you were ok Last night was just another night It never seemed quite right to hold it all at bay Jealousy's a drag, like wandering outside October snow when the leaves all have died Tomorrow may bring us thunder or sun I'd do it all again, I'd do it by the ton The memory, like candy The sweet taste of love dissolving on my tongue You'll drive by and away, you're leaving today, I wish you were ok Last night was just another night It never seemed quite right to hold it all at bay
