natvral - sylvia, the cup of youth lyrics

[verse 1]
your eyes caught the light grey and bright winter sky
you came round to my place just to say you weren’t alone
you were dressed like a misfit, i liked it i guess
never mind what you said, i wasn’t listening to you then

[verse 2]
played your straight man it’s true, well i was straighter than you
i laughed at all your mystic views, i think you confused that for kind
and though the west coast was your home, you liked it best where you weren’t known
i wanted to be yours alone, but wanting never made you mine

[chorus 1]
sylvia, oh sylvia
you never were my sylvia it’s true
sometimes you’d kid and say i was your galahad
i never was as good as that but you
still searching for the cup of youth

[verse 3]
then your lips didn’t taste like it meant the same to you
there were some things i wouldn’t do in the back of a black car
and i turned a darker blue when you said what we both knew
then you went and spent your rent getting drunk in hotel bars

[verse 4]
you drove to washington just to do the same again
you felt the co+rs+ness creeping in so you sailed to saigon
but you soon were back again living with an old girlfriend
when she went to bed at ten you asked if i was still alone
[chorus 2]
sylvia, oh sylvia
you’d take a swing if someone called you cute
sometimes you’d kid and say i was your galahad
i never was as good as that but you
still searching for the cup of youth

[verse 5]
i got someone here who’s kind and a child on my mind
you’ve left a lot of us behind, but i don’t think you were wrong
‘cuz last i heard you knew the words to every pop country song
you became the radio, you’d been traveling that long

[chorus 3]
sylvia, oh sylvia
could be anything to anyone but true
sometimes i wish i never let you let me down
sometimes i wished i died in your bedroom
sylvia, oh sylvia
you never were anyone’s that’s true
i’m older than i was and i was older then
you seem the same when i catch sight of you
did you find the cup of youth?
