james yorkston - saint patrick lyrics
i didn? t sleep at all last night
i thought my heart had mastered the run of these seas
but they appear not to care about calming lately
i awoke with a smart and a look at the phone.
i swear that i would have called you if i? d been sure you were alone.
and doesn? t that drive things home?
the hardest time to forget is when sleep clears your mind,
bringing up what might have been, and who? s by her side.
and if i appear forlorn, that? s the reason truly.
should i find myself a surrogate to keep the winters warm
blame her for my former love and blunt her of her charms?
oh dear saint patrick, i pray for some water
jut let me quench my thirst this morning after.
and this girl by my side, well who knows the future?
but if i appear forgetful she? s the reason on my mind
if you detect a smile it? s as i dream of foreign lands
and letting things get out of hand
is exactly what i? ve got planned!
