Lyrics
Walk Hand in Hand in the Morning
Copyright 2003 Paul Hayes BMI
A bloodshot moon was rising,
red as a hooker's claws.
The stars like scars in the canopy,
they cancelled all the laws.
The pickpockets they had all dispersed.
The thieves had stolen away.
Just you and me on an empty street
at the dawning of the day.
Chorus:
Baby, oh baby, I can't tell you why...
Down in the gutter or up in the sky.
In this whole round world wherever we lie,
we can walk hand in hand in the morning.
We stopped to kiss as the rain came down,
the sky it was applauding.
Just you and me on an empty street
in the guilty hours of morning
It must be that old moon, my blood is turning like the tides.
Bringing on that lunacy you always used to like.
You're my princess of excess,
from pool-hall to penny arcade.
And my heart is as heart-shaped as a heart,
true to the promises made.
...Chorus
