I come home, don't know where you are You must be working pretty hard I feed the cat half a can of food And I sit at the table and I wait for you And I don't like doubting How this old love will hold But I have my moments When I'm just waiting for it to explode Oh, no good deals in these mine fields today It don't matter how I walk, I could get blown away Underneath the soil and the flowers I can hear a ticking down from years to hours There's not a lot of air in this third floor flat You want to go outside you want to get some by You have said that you cannot breathe When you're caught up inside here with no reprieve I have been trying Not to hold you to your lines But I feel you leaning Out more all the time Oh, no good deals in these mine fields today It don't matter how I walk, I could get blown away Underneath the soil and the flowers I can hear a ticking down from years to hours Forever is a word I leave on the shelf I don't want history to repeat itself So I take it night by night And I try not to hold you too tight I have been dancing Up and down the words Trying to find out why Things are not the way they were Oh, no good deals in these mine fields today It don't matter how I walk, I could get blown away Underneath the soil and the flowers I can hear a ticking down from years to hours
