Sã£o Paulo Lyrics - Through The Windowpane - Guillemots

Sit down, my love of open spaces 

And breathe, my love, it's all been 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 Sao Paulo 

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, curl you on the moor 

My heart has fallen by the wayside 

I cannot claim her anymore 

So don your duffel coats quite slowly 

And this start to reset, adjourn 

While on the streets of old Sao Paulo 

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, die inside 

Drop my bags and run for miles 

And sometimes I could live my life 

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 

Or 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 a door 

Thrown across water, thrown across water 

Thrown across water like a stone 

Ay, 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 

I don't belong here, 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
