chamomile and whiskey - inverness lyrics
[verse 1]
saw your face on a train
hung over in the seat
by the windowpane
you were betting races on the beads of rain
[verse 2]
well a name, a name
don’t matter none
sun’s gotta walk, it forgot to run
well the gods are playing again, another game
[verse 3]
well it’s been three whole days
since i filled myself with cigarette haze
can we live our lives
as a spark but not a blaze?
[verse 4]
well, needless to say
like an actress
in a silent play
she can live her lifе meeting another gaze
[verse 5]
well thе willow trees, they ain’t weeping
and the sweeping brooms, they ain’t sweeping nothing
oh the wind again
he’s a lifted up the breeze
[verse 6]
she tells me things of inverness
seems meet things beside the dress
and naked she stands
and throws away the key
[verse 7]
well a name, a name
don’t matter none
smooth like silk, smoke like a gun
oh she’s got me sheetless with frankincense and myrrh
[verse 8]
well the windowsill is never closed
like curtains waving before the show
and the spotlight blinding me
but mostly her
[verse 9]
holding up the night and we feel the rain
along the dial
the windowpane
we can live another life alone again
[verse 10]
it’s been years since we found out
and another month or two about
i’ll see her again, faceless on a train
i’ll see her again, faceless on a train
