Crystal

She took her time to say it, she had to delay it
As she waited for the walls to fade
To measure it and weigh it
She had to take away all the silly little games they played
A little of regret on a chain around her neck
The best place for a galaxy of pain
Got to cut the losses, or just the loser
Pray that things will never be the same

She could write a novel of the nasty and the noble
Of how He sat and took it on the chin
But he was stIll not free, and now she could see
She'd never get the lid off that tin
A little of regret on a chain around her neck
The best place for a galaxy of pain
Got to cut the losses, or just the loser Pray that things will never be the same

She left a little tear on the window of the bus
When the driver dropped her off near nowhere
This place is good, as good as any other
Call my mother just say I'm OK
She left a lot of years on the window of that bus
A long life time of weight
This place is good, as good as any other
For a lover on a newborn day
A lover on a newborn day
A lover on a newborn day

It's another kind of time, she doesn't have to climb
For him she's out of sight and mind
Checking every ring that she did the right thing
Check again between the lines
A little of respect was too much to expect
No shelter from his insane rain
Got to cut the losses, or just the loser
Make sure things will never be the same

I'm throwing my blues away, there was nothing I betrayed
And this place is good, what this lover doesn't need is another to show the way
I'm making my own way, can you hear the birdsong day
This place is good, where I can be another
Be a lover of a newborn day
A lover on a newborn day
A lover on a newborn day
