Jonatha Brooke - West Point Lyrics
I'm retravelling this lifeline that's so close to homeWe are on our way to West PointWhere your perfect, blond cousin will throw his hat up in the airAnd we will watch it fallAnd I'm still the girl that loved youWhen your eyes were open wideI'm still the girl that wandered on and I'm still the girl that lied'Cause when I'd tell the truth, you would run and hideBut my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drinkI get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressedI can't help myselfYou'll order beer and a sandwich, at the bar at the hotelAnd you'll want to tell me somethingJust like every other timeAnd our hopes will rise,And we'll watch them fallYou're still written in my days, all the pages coming back to meI will carry you along, singing discreetlyOld raincoat, two lives, no boyfriend, no wifeDon't want to die here and nobody knowDon't want to die here and nobody knowBut my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drinkI get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressedI can't help myselfDon't want to die here and nobody knowDon't want to die here and nobody knowDon't want to die here and nobody knowDon't want to die...here.
