Sao Paulo

Sit down my love of open spaces
And breathe my love, let’s all be spent
I’m going to tell you both a story
About some memories that I dreamt
See I’ve lost love in many places
Not least the streets of São Paolo
And friends especially, I didn’t make them
A ten floor window to her home
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
But I don’t
So hush the shadows in the oak tree
Be still you curl upon the moor
My heart has fallen upon the wayside
I cannot claim her anymore
So don your duffel coats quite slowly
And this sad jury has ajurned
While on the streets of old São Paolo
I watch my baby being burned
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
Sometimes I could cry for miles
But I don’t
Sometimes I could cry, ah sometimes
Drop my bags and run for miles
And sometimes I could live my lives
But I wont, but I won’t
Have you ever been thrown across the water
Have you ever been thrown across the water
Have you ever been thrown across the water
Till there’s no skin left on your bones
Thrown across water, thrown across water
Thrown across water, like a stone
Thrown across water, thrown across water
Thrown across water, like a stone
Thrown across water, thrown across water
Thrown across water, like a stone
Thrown across water, thrown across water
Thrown across water, like a stone
Get me a doctor, get me a doctor
Who will get rid of my bones
Get me a lover, get me a lover
Who will leave my head alone
Get me a soldier, get me a soldier
Who will fight me pointless war
Get me an exit, I need an exit
I need a window or door
Thrown across water, thrown across water
Thrown across water, like a stone
Get me a lawyer, get me a lawyer
Who will sue the world for me
Get me a person, get me a person
Get me a person who isn’t me
'Cause I’m getting tired
I’m getting tired
Of my stupid little face
'Cause I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
Don’t belong in this horse race
Thrown across water, thrown across water
Thrown across water, like a stone
Thrown across water, thrown across water
Thrown across water, like a stone
