To Reach Me Lyrics - Go-betweens

Never thought I'd ever hear from you 

My slapped face has healed, so has the misunderstanding 

And what brings, what brings you around 

Amidst this torrid time with your heart near mine? 

To reach me, keep your lover there 

To reach me from your side of town 

Never tell me you have all night dreams 

Don't talk of impulse or the lonely road 

Those demons I just don't see them 

Are there any here tonight? Do they wear horns or burn bright 

To reach me, keep your lover there 

To reach me from your side of town 

And the playboys have all gone to bed 

They're tired and their models drawn on a charcoal sketch 

A pipe burns and the smoke goes over the calendar spread 

Over naked girls 

Your family tree has never held a ghost 

Did Gulliver ever bend down so far? 

Ruth said, Ruth said, she said 

That you once disapproved, how could anyone disapprove of me? 

To reach me, keep your lover there 

To reach me from your side of town 

To reach me, keep your lover there 

To reach me, to my side of town
