Practical Arrangement Lyrics - The Last Ship - Sting

Am I asking for the moon 

Is it really so implausible 

That you and I could soon 

Come to some kind of arrangement 

I'm not asking for the moon 

I've always been a realist 

When it's really nothing more 

Than a simple rearrangement 

With one roof above our heads 

A warm house to return to 

We could start with separate beds 

I could sleep alone or learn to 

I'm not suggesting that we'd find 

some earthly paradise forever 

I mean how often does that happen now? 

The answer's probably never 

But we could come to an arrangement, 

a practical arrangement 

And you could learn to love me 

given time

I'm not promising the moon 

I'm not promising a rainbow 

Just a practical solution 

To a solitary life 

I'd be a father to your boy 

A shoulder you could lean on 

How bad could it be 

To be my wife 

With one roof above our heads 

A warm house to return to 

You wouldn't have to cook for me 

You wouldn't have to learn to 

I'm not suggesting that this proposition here 

could last forever 

I've no intention of deceiving you 

you're far too clever 

But we could come to an arrangement 

A practical arrangement 

And perhaps you'd learn to love me 

given time 

It may not be the romance that you had in mind 

But you could learn to love me 

Given time
