Stray Lyrics - Aztec Camera

You don't have to tell me what you're still looking for 

Two arms to hold you and a voice to say 

"That's alright, you can spend the night" 

Well, come around 

'Cos I've been there and these are the notes 

From the overground 

The world saxophone quartet, the smell of violets 

And a passing friend won't let you down 

Listen to the rhythm of the rain falling 

Say you're gonna change your foolish ways 

Make a promise, break a promise in the same day 

It goes the same way, anyway 

So you pray for silence and its sadness and its violence 

To be washed away, one day 

I understand the state you've reach of being unreachable 

Somewhere out there where only the music plays 

Loneliness and being alone don't always mean the same 

Who needs the movie? You can see the music anyway 

A sketch for winter, a burgundy and sanctuary 

Can make me stay when I feel that way 

And if my words don't say the things that they were meant to say 

And if confusion comes and carries all my words away 

And if you still don't understand 

I wanna hold your hand, and look at it this way 

Someone singing's better than the war they're winning 

Winging its way, your way or my way 

Any day, any way, stray, stray
