Tom Verlaine

Looking back I should have known All the nights that I spent in outer space If in fact I had said no, what becomes of this? It's hard to say I'll feel better with the breeze on my back And I'll sleep better, knowing it's in the past Looking back I should have known All the nights that I spent in outer space Cigarettes and old regrets piled in a stack out in the back of my brain When you walk away it better be for good I put my money on a horse who won't be steered on any course or lane And if I ever see a dime, you'd take that money to divide and separate When you walk away, it better be for good I know you'll be there in the rain Glowing like the first night, telling me you've changed I know you'll be there in the rain Glowing like the first night trying to explain that That when you walk away It's gonna be for good You were my Tom Verlaine Just sitting on the hood --- Tom Verlaine - Alvvays
