lyrics

Never You Mind

never you mind this being yours
and you being mine
what I mean is
come over anytime
you feel so inclined
to see my shining face
lit by a summer daze
on a hazy, drunken-something afternoon

the streets are full of the bustle & the bang
how they rush - it's a crying shame
run, run as fast as you can
no, no I won't
so here's a song
to slow us down
for you & me on a lazy afternoon

then after you get back to town
after all of your running around
and still you choose to find me in the afternoon

we watch the clouds roll in
and close all the windows and pour the coffee
this is what I need
time slows down
we sit on the back step
and watch the rain fall
on the backyard
hear the city street slow down

you stay awhile until the storm falls away
then go back into your life
and your day to day
just remember me as one who knows
just how to spend
a rainy, lazy summer afternoon

then after I get back to town
after all of my running around
and still I choose to find you in the afternoon

after we get back to town
after all of our running around
and still we choose
yeah we do, oh yeah we do
