English Tea

What have I done?
Have I lost my mind?
I've preached on the cheaters
That turn a blind eye this time
And I get so lonely without you

I love your curly blonde hair
And I love the time that you take
I love we're only together for this evening
That ain't enough time for mistakes
And I never feel lonely around you

You take on mythical forms
And you never seem to get bored
You say 'I like some of your songs'
And 'what's the harm'?
The liquor over here's stronger
I cannot stay very much longer
I don't know where I belong
But, sugar, it ain't in your arms

Has your wristwatch been fixed?
Has your compass been broke?
You don't care what time it is
You don't care where it is we go
And I don't know nothing about you

You take on mythical forms
And you never seem to get bored
You claim you like some of my songs
So what's the harm?
The liquor over here's stronger
And I cannot stay very much longer
I don't know where I belong
But, child, it ain't in your arms
