I left home on Valentines Day
The road signs are blurring and I can't read what they say
We're pushing through the mountains and we're chasing the snow
If the good Lord's guiding us I don't know why,
Maybe I should ask him, 'cos only he would know
Have you seen Mathilda?
Does she still count the stars at night?
Have you seen Mathilda......Is she alright?
I'm surrounded by all that I need
But I am haunted by your desease
My heart is heavy and my kisses are cold
I'm coming back to see you though,
You're not living there, you're not living there alone
I'm facing days without you again
I'm missing your comfort though I'm surrouneded by my friends
It gets so cold at night here on Vinyl Boulevard
If it was down to me, I'd take this key
I'd steal this car and drive into your arms
The striptease girls are with me tonight
St. Christopher has let me down but Marys got me in her sights
The mirrors in the hotel are reflecting all I fear
The wines, the lines and the valentines
And the pick-up lines that only you should hear
The dogs are barking and the rocking horse rocks
Toms not singing and we're left stranded at the docks
These beer mat words can't hold a candle to his song
Maybe I'm too weak, maybe I'm too strong
Or I'm just in place where I really don't belong
The road signs are blurring and I can't read what they say
We're pushing through the mountains and we're chasing the snow
If the good Lord's guiding us I don't know why,
Maybe I should ask him, 'cos only he would know
