I Watch You Reading A Book

I Get To Thinking Our Love's A Polished Stone

You Give Me A Long Drawn Look

I Know Pretty Soon You're Going To Leave Our Home

And Of Course I Mind,

Especially When I'm Thinking From My Heart

But Life Don't Clickety Clack Down A Straight Line Track

It Comes Together And It Comes Apart.

You Say You Hope I'm Not The Kind

To Make You Feel Obliged

To Go Ticking Through Your Time

With A Pained Look In Your Eyes

You Give Me The Furniture, We'll Divide The Photographs

Go Out To Dinner One More Time

Have Ourselves A Bottle Of Wine

And A Couple Of Laughs

And When First You Left

I Stayed So Sad I Wouldn't Sleep

I Know That Love's A Gift, I Thought Yours Was Mine

And Something That I Could Keep

Now I Realize That Time Is Not The Only Compromise

But A Bird In The Hand Could Be An All Night Stand

Between A Blazing Fire And A Pocket Of Skies

So I Hope I'm Not The Kind

To Make You Feel Obliged

To Go Ticking Through Your Time

With A Pained Look In Your Eyes

I Covered The Furniture, I Framed The Photographs

Went Out To Dinner One More Time

Had Myself A Bottle Of Wine And A Couple Of Laughs

And Just The Other Day

I Got Your Letter In The Mail

I'm Happy For You, Its Been So Long

You've Been Wanting A Cabin And A Backwoods Trail

And I Think That's Great...me...

I Seem To Find Myself In School

It's All Ok, I Just Want To Say

I'm So Relieved We Didn't Do It Cruel

But Ain't Life A Brook

Just When I Get To Feeling Like A Polished Stone

I Give Me Along Drawn Look

It's Kind Of A Drag To Find Yourself Alone

And Sometimes I Mind

Especially When I'm Waiting On Your Heart

But Life Don't Clickety Clack Down A Straight Line Track

It Comes Together And It Comes Apart.

Cause I Know You're Not The Kind

To Make Me Feel Obliged

To Go Ticking Through My Time With A Pained Look

In My Eyes

I Sold The Furniture, I Put Away The Phot
