lyrics

I’ve left you but I know I’m some to blame
I can neither tame my mind nor my mane
God knows I’ve tried, but now to loose the stain
I take to walkin’ down Calypso Lane

Crocuses have croaked, it’s long past spring
Leaves have left the trees for the wind
I might have stayed on with you but I couldn’t pull the sting
Love can leave when he comes crashin’ in

I’ve tried a thousand times to slant my mind
Do you right instead of doin’ time
Some people crash right through your thin sublime
Unintending wardens of the mind

Oh quiet man, you’re in my heart and in my head
I try to knock, knock, knock on your door but I blow your house down instead
How does one like me get wrapped in one like you?
Tell me, what’s a woman to do?

Oh quiet man, you’re in my heart and in my head
I try to knock, knock, knock on your door but I blow your house down instead
How does one like me get wrapped in one like you?
Tell me, what’s a woman to do?

I’ve left you but I know I’m some to blame
I can neither tame my mind nor my mane
God knows I’ve tried, but now to loose the stain
I take to walkin’ down Calypso Lane
