Shawn Colvin - Polaroids[00:00:01]
Please no more therapy[00:00:12]
Mother take care of me[00:00:14]
Piece me together with a[00:00:17]
Needle and thread[00:00:20]
Wrap me in eiderdown[00:00:23]
Lace from your wedding gown[00:00:26]
Fold me and lay me down[00:00:28]
On your bed[00:00:31]
Or liken me to a shoe[00:00:34]
Blackened and spit-shined through[00:00:37]
Kicking back home to you[00:00:40]
Smiling back home[00:00:42]
Singing back home to you[00:00:45]
Laughing back home to you[00:00:48]
Dragging back home to you[00:00:51]
I was so wary then[00:00:56]
The ugly American[00:00:59]
Thinner than oxygen[00:01:02]
Tough as a whore[00:01:05]
I said you can lie to me[00:01:08]
I own what's inside of me[00:01:10]
And nothing surprises me anymore[00:01:13]
But forests in Germany[00:01:19]
Kids in the Tuileries[00:01:22]
Broken-down fortresses[00:01:25]
In old Italy[00:01:27]
And claiming his victory[00:01:30]
Shrouded in mystery[00:01:33]
He went running away with me[00:01:36]
Back in our home New York[00:01:42]
Walking these streets forlorn[00:01:44]
We all in our uniforms[00:01:47]
Black and black[00:01:50]
Doing that slouch and jive[00:01:53]
The artist must survive[00:01:55]
We've got all we need we cried[00:01:58]
And we don't look back[00:02:01]
Thinking we had it made[00:02:04]
Poised for the hit parade[00:02:07]
Knee deep in accolades[00:02:09]
The conceptual pair[00:02:12]
But ever the malcontent[00:02:15]
He left without incident[00:02:18]
Vanished into thin air[00:02:20]
Now I am always amazed[00:03:12]
Words can fill up a page[00:03:14]
Pages fill up the days[00:03:17]
Between him and me[00:03:20]
But the vows that we never keep[00:03:22]
From bedrooms to business-speak[00:03:25]
Make me remember how cheap[00:03:28]
Words can be[00:03:31]
And the letters I wrote you of[00:03:34]
Were those of the desperate stuff[00:03:37]
Like begging for love in a suicide threat[00:03:39]
But I am too young to die[00:03:45]
Too old for a lullaby[00:03:48]
Too tired for life on the ledge[00:03:50]
But I had a dream last night[00:03:56]
Of lovers who walked the plank[00:03:59]
Out on the edge of time[00:04:02]
Amidst ridicule[00:04:05]
They laughed as they rocked and reeled[00:04:08]
Over the mining fields[00:04:11]
Coming to rest on this ship of fools[00:04:13]
But he just took polaroids[00:04:19]
Of her smile in the light[00:04:21]
Of the dawn of the menacing sky[00:04:25]
And before they went overboard[00:04:30]
She turned and held up a card[00:04:33]
And it said Valentine[00:04:36]
