Lyrics

You said you need to take some time,
but where will you take it?
The ingredients are all laid out;
I’m just hoping we make it.
And in the back of my heart
I hearken back to early dances
Your laugh would dead cars start
Your smile taught cowards to take chances.

Where do you keep the faith
that you had when we started?
The warmth that kept us so close
and so open-hearted?
You left me so right
you left me again night after night.
If that’s what you call faith,
then keep it
far away from me.

You say you’re gonna wipe the floor
and take me to the cleaners.
The remedial reward is in
the coinpurses of seniors.
And in the back of my head,
I head back to the frameless mattress
we had for our first bed,
there was no head bored, no one could match us.

And in the back of my mind,
I back my mind up to the wagon
while you unload, and I find
I’m lost from the petty nicks I’m draggin

Where do you keep the faith
that you had when we started?
The warmth that kept us so close
and so open-hearted?
You left me so right
you left me again night after night.
If that’s what you call faith,
then keep it
far away from me.
