Keely Aimee sat next to me My hair stood up on end And Keely Aimee, maybe one night We could be better friends I know this town's been hard on you I've seen the neighbors close their shades But Keely, they've got their secrets too So you fell in some mud, you haven't fallen from grace Keely Aimee, I'm sure you dreamed you'd do far greater things But, Keely, I wish you wouldn't dwell on what could and couldn't be I know how dreams can let you down I've had some rude awakenings But Keely, I still go back to sleep In the dead of night you spring to life for me Keely Aimee Keely Aimee Keely Aimee, I know this world is such a heavy weight
And, Keely Aimee, those crows feet perched at such an early age Well, I'd help you shoo those birds away If the burden's just too much See, Keely, I love your suffering like gravity loves a stumbling drunk So Keely Aimee, lay next to me Rest your head against mine In all of the world I've never known a sadder Valentine And when will I sleep and dream of the city towering into the clouds? We'll run through the streets anonymously A whole new life If only we knew how Keely Aimee If only we knew how Keely Aimee Oh, no, no If we knew how If we knew how If we knew how
