Arlene 03:20
Arlene Arlene she told me in the kitchen if it was true love I was missing Then I should go no further than the back of a horse For she had already seen love run its course Arlene told me she was pleasing those around her all the four seasons she never thought he would take to any other, why should he when she worked so hard to make him oh so happy so go and take the back door, hit the road say no don't put that age old knife to your throat Arlene said that day she found out she didn't run, didn't scream or shout but took up the offer the next day at the bar and went to go ride in some other cowboys car So don't you ever marry you sweet girl say no don't put that age old knife to your curl As the rain poured down her thoughts settled like a cloud and I'm left to wonder if the truth is in her tongue or if I'm to be undone So I'll go and take the back door hit the road I'll say no won't put that age old knife to my throat Oh Arlene what you done

I am leaving when the cherry blossoms bloom and now that time is coming much too soon and when I look in the grayness of your eyes I see our nights falling through your sky The purple crocus in the garden finds, its way and yet I'm lost in the blueness of each day it holds my heart hostage and drags me down when I'm just trying to get up and leave this town I'm gonna drive that pass gonna drive so fast So I won't when you don't make a fool out of me Its in the silence at the sunrise of the day when the warmth of night in your eyes fades if you could just lie next to me and not turn, away but I'll stave my tongue and you will have your way I'm gonna drive that pass gonna drive so fast So I won't see when you don't watch as I leave But every time we leave the harbor of your room you change, you sigh you're as cold as the moon you've become deaf to the sweetness of my voice just remember that this was your choice I'm gonna drive that pass gonna drive so fast So I won't see when you make a fool out of me

We walked out onto the tidelands but all you saw was the plain gray sand I told you baby, there is life beneath I took your hand and you clenched your teeth I turned over a rock and cut my hand my blood fell on the eggs in the sand you did startle, at the life you saw below I said that in time it will grow For thats the reason, the reason that we're damned I see the life, but you just see the sand I'd have bled for you both inside and out to show you love for which you have no doubt to show you love for which you have no doubt We walked along as I told you all the names of the living things buried deep beneath the grains you looked at me as though I was from some other place I took your hand and saw your body tense So next time you walk the tidelands with some other woman, with cleaner hands make sure to keep your heart far away Don't let it ruin you as it did today Don't let it ruin you as it does today
