Prefab Sprout - Bonny lyrics

I spend the days with my vanity I'm lost in heaven and i'm lost to earth Didn't give you minutes not even moments All my life in a tower of foil Shaded feelings, don't believe you When you were there before my eyes No one planned it took it for granted I count the hours since you slipped away I count the hours that i lie awake I count the minutes and the seconds too All i stole and i took from you But bonny don't live at home, he don't live at home Words don't hold you, broken soldiers Instrumental I count the hours since you slipped away I count the hours that i lie awake I count the minutes and the seconds too All i stole and i took from you But bonny don't live at home, he don't live at home Words don't hold you, broken soldiers All my silence and my strained respect Missed chances and the same regrets Kiss the thief and you save the rest All my insights from retrospect But bonny's not coming home, he don't live at home Save your speeches, flowers are for funerals
