Sit down my love of open spaces And breathe my love, let's all be spent I'm going to tell you both a story About some memories that I dreamt See I've lost love in many places Not least the streets of São Paulo And friends especially, I didn't make them A ten floor window to her home Sometimes I could cry for miles Sometimes I could cry for miles Sometimes I could cry for miles But I don't So hush the shadows in the oak tree Be still you curl upon the moor My heart has fallen upon the wayside I cannot claim her anymore So don your duffel coats quite slowly And this sad jury has ajurned While on the streets of old São Paulo I watch my baby being burned Sometimes I could cry for miles Sometimes I could cry for miles Sometimes I could cry for miles But I don't Sometimes I could cry, ah sometimes Drop my bags and run for miles And sometimes I could live my lives But I wont, but I won't Have you ever been thrown across the water Have you ever been thrown across the water Have you ever been thrown across the water Till there's no skin left on your bones Thrown across water, thrown across water Thrown across water, like a stone Thrown across water, thrown across water Thrown across water, like a stone Thrown across water, thrown across water Thrown across water, like a stone Thrown across water, thrown across water Thrown across water, like a stone Get me a doctor, get me a doctor Who will get rid of my bones Get me a lover, get me a lover Who will leave my head alone Get me a soldier, get me a soldier Who will fight me pointless war Get me an exit, I need an exit I need a window or door Thrown across water, thrown across water Thrown across water, like a stone Get me a lawyer, get me a lawyer Who will sue the world for me Get me a person, get me a person Get me a person who isn't me 'Cause I'm getting tired I'm getting tired Of my stupid little face 'Cause I don't belong here I don't belong here Don't belong in this horse race Thrown across water, thrown across water Thrown across water, like a stone Thrown across water, thrown across water Thrown across water, like a stone
