You Should've Told Me
In the morning
And the air so still
Cars are passing
By my window sill
Dusty sidewalks, in the afternoon
Coastal mountains, I will be there soon
You should have told me
Should have told you
I should have told you, that the dam won't hold
I should have called you, but the line went cold
I should have held you in my arms each night
I should've told you when the time was right
Should have told me
Should have told you
Seasons will turn
Never will I learn
Moments will pass
I always think they'll last
You should have told me
I should have told you, when I had the chance
I should have told you, just the way I planned
Dusty sidewalk in the afternoon,
Coastal mountains, I will be there soon.
You should have told me
Seasons will turn
Never will I learn
Moments will pass
You always think they'll last
You should have told me
Moments will pass
Moments will pass
You should have told me
I should have told you
You should have told me
I should have told you
You should have told me
I should have told you
Foreign Film
Life should be a film
One of those foreign films
Where people are always talking
And you just can't understand
But it means a lot
Life should be a book
A really, really good book
That you take when you travel
And hope it never ends
And you read again
Life should be a poetry,
A pretty, pretty tree
Words have their meanings
To help you understand
And say what you mean
You're giving me a stomach ache
When you negotiate
You're giving me a stomach ache
When you try and set me straight
Life should be a song
One of those sixties songs
With lots of catchy phrases
That everybody knows
So you can sing along
Life should be a poetry
A pretty, pretty tree
Words have their meanings
To help you understand
And say what you mean
You're giving me a stomach ache
When you negotiate
You're giving me a stomach ache
When you try and set me straight
You're giving me a stomach ache
When you negotiate
And when you set me straight
You're giving me a stomach ache
Life should be a tree
A poetry
In the morning
