lyrics

your smile breaks my heart
‘cause I know where you’ve been
the rings around your eyes
tell me every little thing
I swear I know you
I swear I know just what you mean
when I look at you
darling, I see me

we lost our mothers
to the disease
and leave our lovers
when it gets too deep
but we can heal now
we can pull up the weeds
and if we do our part
we can put it to sleep

you’re so much younger
but you’re smarter than me
you’re so much taller
when you stand on your heels
you don’t feel you could love me
but I feel you could
‘cause when I’m in your arms
it just feels

this is the part
where I turn up the heat
open up my heart
let it fall on my feet
I think I love you
I really love you
you could really use a
friend like me

about

Elvis Orbison Los Angeles, California

It’s humid. There are hundreds of mosquitoes taking samples of you. The water flows languidly, almost tumbling over itself in heaps. Even the grass is despondent. What can you do?

If you’re Brett Lyda aka Elvis Orbison, you wait. Patiently. Sooner or later something will move, letting you know it’s time. Time to move your index finger from the B string to the G. Then you wait some more.
