Lyrics

Sentimental


a cantilever pendulum reminds me of september
when uncontrolled emotions ruled the tide
and in the room we lay a sign read someone famous slept here
i'm so sentimental

we took a train to inverness to meet the loch ness stranger
the rain was cold, the streets were dry
the hour that we had left only time enough for tea and
i'm so sentimental

sentimental fool am i
who slowly lets the seasons fade away in vain
i'll never speak your name
any other fool..but i
would fall down on his knees and face the pain

i remember leaves of grass made beds of leisure
and our shelter was the sky
weave through passages of paper planes in heaven
my how time does fly

sentimental fool am i
who slowly lets the seasons slip away, all in vain
i never call your name
any other fool...but i
would bend down on his knees and make you stay

some missionaryfarrow paved this road on which we travel
all underneath a mass of watchful eyes
and at our journeys end there stood a tower made of babel...
i'm so sentimental
