lyrics

I walked through Northwest in the morning
The sky, blinding cold and so blue
I hadn't thought twice, I didn't sleep in the night
And I, so much younger than you
We were two lovers crossed by recklessness and inhibition
No innocence lost, but how could I know?
An abstract collage of impulsiveness and intuition:
Oasis or mirage, how could I know?

I waited at home over New Year's
For the echo of you to fade out
But the records you played on that December day
Filled me up and left no room for doubt
And from that moment on, my priorities and my ambitions
Have always been drawn in the ink of our love
I never put it past the authority of my convictions
I never had to ask: Which way towards home?

They said you'd break my heart
And maybe you did once or twice
But love's a sharp knife, the proof of my life
Happiness bought at such a small price
The party came to an end: my recklessness, your hesitation
I said it depends on where you want to go
We were headed straight in to a flood of heavy implications
But we'd only just begun, we had so far to go
