Take a sip from your chaliced chest And I bow my head to you 'Cause kicking myself would be a waste of bruises And you won't allow the black and blue I know it will get easier with time Tick off the days by swimming up the Rhine Even though I am across the ocean Looking out a sunflower view Remember that time I came all the way out to Hoboken To prove my devotion to you I know it will get easier with time Tick off the days by swimming up the Rhine I'll make a shadow puppet on the moon So you can see it, too We planted peaches in the sidewalk cement Be careful, the dawn is coming soon I know it will get easier with time Tick off the days by swimming up the Rhine
