Wanders To You Lyrics - Jones Howard

It's been so long since I slept 

The good book at bedtime no longer suffices 

The bottle of whiskey just one of my vices 

It might help me to sleep 

There you are with your golden brown skin 

The sparkling pacifico catching your chin 

The salt on your margarita will stick to your lips 

Lips that I'd die for a fleeting stolen kiss 

My mind wanders to you and things that we might do 

But you're just another illusion 

My mind wanders to you 

You couldn't live with someone in dreamland 

Toothpaste from Harrods when the corner shop will do 

A friend giving a lift becomes a chauffeur for two 

The grandest illusions to hang on to 

There you are with your golden brown skin 

The sparkling pacifico catching your chin 

The salt on your margarita will stick to your lips 

Lips that I'd die for a fleeting stolen kiss 

My mind wanders to you and things that we might do 

But you're just another illusion 

My mind wanders to you 

Wanders to you and the things that we might do 

But you're just another illusion 

My mind wanders to you 

(Come with me) 

(Wander with me) 

There you are with your London grey skin 

The light from the streetlamp corrupting your chin 

The cream from a Guinness lingers on your lips 

Lips that would beg for a meaningful kiss 

My mind wanders to you and all that we might do 

But you're just another illusion 

My mind wanders to you 

Wanders to you and all that we might do 

But you're just another illusion 

My mind wanders to you 

Wanders to you 

Wanders to you
