lyrics

She had the constellations in her eyes any time I smiled.
She had some verses and a love reprise she wrote for me before my eyes,
And danced her fingers on her small guitar.

She asked me if I was an only child and bought me little sweets.
She’d hold my hand. I’d hang my head to dry.
My heart allowed defeat.

So the love come and goes, at least she’s believing.
I’ve no heart to show. If love I’ll never know, I just loved the idea of her.

I’d show her off to all my friends. They’d say they hope she’s good for me.
She’d bring me dinner when I’d work too late and say, “Aren’t we a good team?"

So the love come and goes, at least she’s believing.
I’ve no heart to show. If love I’ll never know, I just loved the idea of her.

The notes to play to take away the pain, took my boys clinking glasses in the rain, a couch to crash on, stories of young love and her tiny shoes of boats floated on.

Tiny little shoes, the sails were up
