Looking down at my reflection. In the puddle at my feet. Things don't seem so real down there. Or maybe I don't see. . I see no starvation. I don't see any pain.
I admire you from afar. You've changed the way I see. I used to think that I. Should make you be like me. But after this short time. Watching what you do.
It's not because I've just been caught. It's not as if I planned this. I didn't give a single thought. One big misunderstanding. I see how things look from your side.
[Chorus]. I love it when you smile. When you're with me honey. It happens all the while. How it kills me when you cry. And you know my heart. That's no word of a lie.
[Chorus]. I really can't say. How I feel right now. I would if I could. But I don't know how. Just give me some time. And I'll come around. I'll pick myself up.
Daddy don't go out tonight. Just stay home till morning light. Me and mama don't feel right. Please hold us tight. Daddy why did you go to work. When you know just how much we love you so.
We were partners in crime. Spending our days, serving our time. In the usual way. We went behind the lines. To even the score. I won the battle but you won the war.
I'm running away. I've got to get home. I'm lost in a crowd. But I'm still on my own. I'm looking ahead. So I'm staying behind. I'm not being cruel. I'm just being kind.
Now I know your secret. I promise that I'll keep it. So confidentially. Between just you and me, I'll never leak it. . I'm the specialist. I know you can't resist.
Tenderly she smiles. Forgiving my mistakes. Getting her to love me. Was my biggest break. Every place I go, she's inside of me. Giving up her love unconditionally.
Oracabessa moonshine. Is washing over me. The Jacaranda tree. And bathing in the sea. Oracabessa sun up. Will chase the night away. Across the Lada bay.
