Matthew Ryan - Some Streets Lead Nowhere lyrics

I can't tell you where I've been now, darling There are hawks inside my head And every smile and every good thing Are picked at till they are dead I love you was all she said That's all she said From that old street To that new house To those beautiful hills Inside your blouse To the rain that kept falling And those years off the rails When we smiled like two sailors With holes in our sails When I'd turn to a coma With a black hole in my chest When a kiss was the cure And I'd save my breath When you'd walk to the bedroom And I'd fall on the couch If I wasted your beauty I'll ignite it somehow 'Cause a dream can be cruel When it haunts you like this With your eyes like a deer And the words from your lips What I'm trying to say is I was afraid that you'd leave So I slept with my failures And I started to grieve I started to grieve I started to grieve
