1
Where the earth shows its bones of wind-broken stone
2
And the sea and the sky are one
3
I'm caught out of time, my blood sings with wine
4
And I'm running naked in the sun
5
There's God in the trees, I'm weak in the knees
6
And the sky is a painful blue
7
I'd like to look around, but Honey, all I see is you.
8
The summer city lights will soften the night
9
Til you'd think that the air is clear
10
And I'm sitting with friends, where forty-five cents
11
Will buy another glass of beer
12
He's got something to say, but I'm so far away
13
That I don't know who I'm talking to
14
Cause you just walked in the door, and Honey, all I see is you
15
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
16
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
17
Ah, but Honey, what the hell's it for?
18
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
19
A way to let you know somehow
20
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now.
21
So alone in the lights on stage every night
22
I've been reaching out to find a friend
23
Who knows all the words, sings so she's heard
24
And knows how all the stories end
25
Maybe after the show she'll ask me to go
26
Home with her for a drink or two
27
Now her smile lights her eyes, but Honey, all I see is you
28
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
29
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
30
Ah, but Honey, what the hell's it for?
31
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
32
A way to let you know somehow
33
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now.
34
And I just want to hold you closer than I've ever held anyone before
35
You say you've been twice a wife and you're through with life
36
Ah, but Honey, what the hell's it for?
37
After twenty-three years you'd think I could find
38
A way to let you know somehow
39
That I want to see your smiling face forty-five years from now.
