lyrics

Darlin you delivered me into your sacred den
with your paperbacks and pocketbooks and those inkless pens
Where silence and rumours moved faster than the truth
You never asked me for a favour though I owed you a few

I stashed a couple of dollars for a night just like this
In between the pages of a book i never read
It’s no secret where I’m going
No, I’m going to forget you

Well, I heard you miss Mary and your tongue-tied cry
Somewhere in that sentimental sky last night
Where the sirens wake up early and I wonder where you are
Your empty pillow's perfume is pulling at my heart

Chorus
Instrumental Break

It’s been a couple years now since saw you Maxine
But I heard you’re doing well, I heard you’re keeping pretty clean
And I’m eating day-old donuts in an all-night diner
Making airplanes outta napkins and I wish I was beside you

Chorus
