West Point Lyrics - Jonatha Brooke

I'm retraveling this lifeline that's so close to home 

We are on our way to West Point 

Where your perfect, blond cousin will throw his hat up in the air 

And we will watch it fall 

And I'm still the girl that loved you 

When your eyes were open wide 

I'm still the girl that wandered on and I'm still the girl that lied 

'Cause when I'd tell the truth, you would run and hide 

But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink 

I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed 

I can't help myself 

You'll order beer and a sandwich, at the bar at the hotel 

And you'll want to tell me something 

Just like every other time 

And our hopes will rise 

And we'll watch them fall 

You're still written in my days, all the pages coming back to me 

I will carry you along, singing discreetly 

Old raincoat, two lives, no boyfriend, no wife 

Don't want to die here and nobody know 

Don't want to die here and nobody know 

But my hands get shaky and I think of all the reasons and I start to drink 

I get lonely, get depressed, can't sleep well nights, can't get dressed 

I can't help myself 

Don't want to die here and nobody know 

Don't want to die here and nobody know 

Don't want to die here and nobody know 

Don't want to die here
