Suddenly Afternoons Lyrics

Suddenly afternoons seem much longer
As I ponder the reason for these five paper mache walls

And suddenly perfect nails seem quite useless
As I undress for no one but the shower
We wore our love so proud
You wore that smile too loud

Suddenly afternoons make me call out
To those boy scouts
Be careful of those sandstorms and cyclones
Suddenly I get caught
Hiding in a teacup
You say, stand up, and be the woman I love
Again
We wore our love so proud
You wore that smile too loud

A little time, a little time, a little time
To remember the plan
Look straight ahead, straight ahead, straight ahead
Through that faded tin can
A little time, a little time, a little time
A little time...
What was the point my friend
Chicken you run again
Chicken you run
Suddenly all I see
Is your green raincoat
And that sailboat
And your umbrella that both of us hated to use
Suddenly all those love songs don't seem foolish
And I notice that I'm singing every g****** word

We wore our love so proud
You wore that smile too loud
