Lyrics
looking forward and leaving behind
this parking lot for a glass of wine
passing by windows filled with attractive young men
and women on cell phones with money to spend
the fog rolls down and over my skin
stains on the sidewalk like birds on the wind
looking forward and leaving behind
this parking lot for a glass of wine
--
walking home from safeway - bags so heavy they hurt my arms
behind smoking amblers I trail and inhale acrid charms
I spoke into her eyes - that much I can say
what came out of my mouth is a mystery
there were thoughts of salmon and orange juice
vitasoy, peach apricot bars I could bring home to you
I spoke into her eyes - that much I can say
what came out of my mouth is a mystery
--
looking forward and leaving behind
this parking lot for a glass of wine
