Details

A hundrum tuesday morning

when nothing's any good

I try to get to work

but I can't get out of this mood

a dreary friday evening

my friends are all in town

I plan to join them later

but my blues are still around

don't wanna waste my time on crying

things that you say won't tear me down

what can I do when you've been lying

I can't be bothered by those memories

spare me the sordid uncouth details

the image is vivid in my mind

I needn't fantasize to picture

the love we had was ruined too soon

you'd woo me with your lovesong

you'd tempt me with your eyes

you'd send me reeling high above

into orange coloured skies

you'd play on your piano

you wrote me poetry

with lovey-dovey metaphors

all leading back to me

don't wanna go back to the old days

when love used to blind me every day

guess I was lost inside your love maze

but now the air is clear enough to see

I was all dressed up

with nowhere to go

you had me from the start

you had me from hello

but now I'm free to fly away

into a brand new lovely day

I'm leaving you behind

spare me the grungy grimy details

the image is lifelike as it is

I can see you and him before me

the love we had was rudely traded in

spare me the sordid uncouth details

the image is vivid in my mind

I needn't fantasize to picture

the love we had was ruined

oh, can't you see it's ruined

the love we had was ruined

too soon
