Slow Dive
I knew a girl she was a sweet sweet thing
I was twenty one and she was seventeen
I'd walk her home almost every night
I wanted to be something more in her life
I never was
And now theres a cold wind blowing
And time keeps going
But I'm still there
In the place on that street
I hear her voice call out to me
It's a slow dive drowning out
A mortal man's mind
She's settled down now she's all grown up
She raised two kids in the basement of a corner shop
Some nights I see her when I go in
To buy a beer and scratch cards but I never win
I never win
And there's a cold wind blowing
Against my hand
Wrapped around the can
And if I stood if I stood real still
I'd hear her voice flowing down the hill
She's a slow dive drowning out
A mortal man's mind
Her ghost white skin and cherry plum eyes
Her bastard kids her husband died
And I am stumbling I am four sheets to the wind
She is staring for a moment and then she cries
She cries
And it cuts so it cuts so deep
It makes me turn and reach out to sweep
Her tears and all of those wanting years
I hear her say something sweet
She's a slow dive drowning out
A mortal man's mind
I was twenty one and she was seventeen
I'd walk her home almost every night
I wanted to be something more in her life
I never was
And now theres a cold wind blowing
And time keeps going
But I'm still there
In the place on that street
I hear her voice call out to me
It's a slow dive drowning out
A mortal man's mind
She's settled down now she's all grown up
She raised two kids in the basement of a corner shop
Some nights I see her when I go in
To buy a beer and scratch cards but I never win
I never win
And there's a cold wind blowing
Against my hand
Wrapped around the can
And if I stood if I stood real still
I'd hear her voice flowing down the hill
She's a slow dive drowning out
A mortal man's mind
Her ghost white skin and cherry plum eyes
Her bastard kids her husband died
And I am stumbling I am four sheets to the wind
She is staring for a moment and then she cries
She cries
And it cuts so it cuts so deep
It makes me turn and reach out to sweep
Her tears and all of those wanting years
I hear her say something sweet
She's a slow dive drowning out
A mortal man's mind
