I don't care whether you hear this   I don't care if I'm alone here singing songs to myself   There's nobody else around, around   Meet you up at the Indian part of the town   The town's shut down, the people left with their bags   Their kids so there's not a sound a sound      But I must get from there to here   There's a small voice crying on the other side of the river from here   It's too late to phone her now   What went wrong, your grades were good   It would take a left wing Robin Hood to pay for school   Your dad's a boozer and you keep him alive      Just a minute close your eyes   If we settle for this compromise I'll stay with you   The river looks so good tonight   I don't know what's with your friend   She met a boy and at the summer's end   She said she'd had enough of playing games      I don't care cause I'm by myself   All the dancers left but I can't dance   So I will stay and clean the mess they left behind   But I dream as I set to scrub all the floors, the walls   I'm thinking of a song or two, a boy a girl a rendezvous      Are you coming or are you not?   There is nothing that would sort you out   There's nothing I could say or do   You're going to crash, I'll set the bails in front of you   Are you coming or are you not?   There is nothing that would sort you out   An interesting way of life   Deny yourself the benefits of being alive      You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station   With a torch and a Woman's Realm to keep you warm   To keep you company   You slept better in a sleeping train in a shed in a station   With a torch and a Woman's Realm to keep you company tonight
