I was in the background sitting sorta softly in my shell Humming slowly sipping, sipping on a drink I will dwell Dim the lights, turn on the stereo I place my hand in yours it's on your lap
Take your eyes off mine, turn them to the street down below People flashing by, people flashing by their in our eyes Most days we always rush but not today
Pour another glass, I choose to stay
Saunter in the streets, Saunter in my mind, I saunter well Saunter with a hat, Saunter in a scarf, I wear it well People buzzing past that's not my way People fussing much it's not my way
And I'm standing in the rain, as It hits the dirty ground It cleans the filthy streets And I'm picturing your face It's a painting that I trace, you're always on my mind
And we will mend our broken hearts In a year of broken dreams, a year of broken words we heard
And we're fading into black Fading into black... fade the lights to black
