Foolish Body

Verse 1:
life goes on
so they say
I’ll keep, my head down

Sitting with an empty gaze
thinking of what I’d say to you

Bridge:
because I had no words when you were fading
I wish I spoke up to give your mind a haven
but now you’re gone I have some clarity, to you my love I’d say....

Chorus:
you’re still young don’t lose your ways
all Time does, is bring out the greys
tell your foolish body that I’d like a word
If you mess with my wife, you’ll feel my burn
because I’m your man and I’m feeling hurt
I had so much time left to give to you

Verse 2:
life goes on
so they say
I’ll keep, my head down

Sitting with an empty gaze
thinking of what I’d say to you

Bridge:

Im glad we got to see the world
now I’ll go back and relive it all
and I’ll keep your picture here with me
together we will see

Alternative Chorus:

New York lights or maybe Uluru
the big Black Sea or back to Kathmandu.
and I know you won’t be next to me
but I’ll find comfort in our memories

all the streets, the rivers and those little towns
I might meet a singer in an empty bar.
and I’ll tell our story it might set him free
or make him really fucking sad for weeks

because I’m your man and I’m feeling hurt
I had so much time left to give to you.

Chorus:
you’re still young don’t lose your ways
see the ticking clock well it just brings greys
so tell your foolish mind that I’d like a word
make sad my man oh you’ll feel my burn
because I’m your lady please don’t be hurt
know I’m glad for the time that I had with you

Verse 3:
life goes on
so they say
I’ll keep my eyes on you dear.

Bridge:
you had no words when I was fading
but the touch of your hand provided me a haven
but now I’m gone you need to listen clear
to you my love id say

FInal Chorus:
you’re still young don’t lose your ways
all time does, is bring out the greys
tell your foolish body that I’d like a word
If you mess with my wife, you’ll feel my burn
because I’m your man and I’m feeling hurt
but I’m glad for the time that I had with you.
