The Gulf
Hot winds from the Gulf, they reminded me of you
So I tried to escape into the sea
I know it's not that often that I think beyond my feet
Or where today they might be taking me
Don't tell me that you love me unless you'll look at me that way
Don't tell me that you need me, because the weight of need's too much
But if you tell me that you want me, well, that would be okay
Some words have to have meanings these days
Half-watching television from motel lobby chair
Drinking bitter coffee to pass the time
Wondering if anyone listens to themselves
I wish love or truth would blacken out my mind
There are no truths, there are no lies
There is no world, there is no time
There is nothing that will help you sleep tonight
Or keep the stranger at the door satisfied
So I tried to escape into the sea
I know it's not that often that I think beyond my feet
Or where today they might be taking me
Don't tell me that you love me unless you'll look at me that way
Don't tell me that you need me, because the weight of need's too much
But if you tell me that you want me, well, that would be okay
Some words have to have meanings these days
Half-watching television from motel lobby chair
Drinking bitter coffee to pass the time
Wondering if anyone listens to themselves
I wish love or truth would blacken out my mind
There are no truths, there are no lies
There is no world, there is no time
There is nothing that will help you sleep tonight
Or keep the stranger at the door satisfied
