Song Description

A song about a couple falling out of, and then back into, love during a marriage in New York.

Lyrics

I dreamt you tattooed all your skin from head to feet, but when I asked about it you stared right through me. I woke to a blue morning and tried to trace it round your hips - but I lost it in my fingertips.

We drank at the reception then we all moved on, through the streets of a big city that's too safe to be alone.
And as I passed the glowing groom and his blushing bride.
I turned away from them and off into the night.

I dreamt that I was robbed one night by two young theives. But the money that was taken was returned to me. I've been trying to figure out exactly what it means - but dreams they don't mean anything.

We drank at the reception then we all moved on, through the streets of a big city that's too large to be a home.
And as I passed the glowing groom and his blushing bride.
I turned on back to you and wished them both goodnight.

Maybe you're right when you say I don't do enough. Maybe I'm too quick to judge each time that you fuck up. What's that your saying about how we might be splitting up? Only time that's happening is when one of us croaks... it's no joke.

You're a part of me.
