Lyrics

TURTLES DANCE

verse 1
If truth be told, I can't explain to you how life has started
Before I laid my eyes on you, my breath in your embrace.
And shall I also tell you how I romp with dancing turtles in my dreams? Every night I fall asleep alone.

verse 2
I want you to know it's been raining here like cats and dogs,
And clouds have gathered in the streets in blanket, stifled-gray.
And into each and every wicked turn and twist of this old crooked town I sleep alone.

chorus 1
Turtles dance in my coffee cup,
Splashing rainbows on the kitchen counter.
You see, my turtles dance in my coffee cup.
They'll keep me company until I wake up with you next to me.
You see, Turtles Dance in my coffee cup,
Splashing rainbows on my better couch.
You see, my Turtles Dance in my coffee cup.
They're singin' "Goodbye is nothing but a promise you're coming back."

verse 3
How can I tell you that the sink is filled with dirty dishes?
Or that the fridge has nothing but a carrot and some wine
that I've been saving for the day you walk into this room?
Let's just forget I bought it for three bucks and fifty nine.

verse 4
For all it's worth, I want you know I've been good--sometimes--
And all your photos I have placed next to my brown guitar.
so when I pick it up and strum these songs of turtle dances
I look at you, I look at you.

chorus 2
Turtles dance in my coffee cup,
Splashing rainbows all over my living room.
Turtles dance in my coffee cup.
They'll keep me company until I wake up with you next to me.
You see, my turtles dance in my coffee cup,
Splashing rainbows on my bathroom floor.
Turtles dance in my coffee cup. They're singin' "'Goodbye' is nothing but a promise you're coming back."

coda
Turtles dancin' in my head. Turtles dancin' in my bed.
Turtles dancin' wild and free. Turtles dance in my TV.
Turtles dancin' on the phone. Turtles dancin' all night long.
Turtles dancin' in my dreams--Only turtles 'til you return.
