Leather

You're Chinese silk and I'm old western leather
I was born to kill and you were born to get better

I've got sand in my boots and a road map
Leading me to places they call home
You say I'm just a kid and I know that
But Tokyo has a heart beat and I'm feeling so cold

You've got your reasons and I have mine
I think I'll sell my car, learn French, and sail the coast
Call my mother, tell her I'm fine
Just need some long division to remind me I'm still whole

I threw out all the pictures and all the postcards
Writing to that old address where I dreamed you are
From a train I saw you standing there
And I would walk the world for you but you wouldn't care cause-

I used to think I was different
But these oars have rowed their last row
On a raft I was drifting
Send me a destiny, I'm dying to let you know

I threw out all the pictures and all the postcards
Writing to that old address where I dreamed you are
From a train I saw you standing there
I would walk the world for you but you wouldn't care cause-
