The Beating Of Our Hearts

You say "go easy on those pills, baby
Can't you do anything right?"
You say "only half the bottle, baby
What ever gets you through the night."
Oh, you and your past
Well they're everything I need
Your soul and mine
As old as the trees

You won't kiss me
When I smoke a cigarette
But you say adventure
Is all you have left
Oh, baby
Oh, don't you know it's all just noise?
My down-home, Arizona Electric Blues boy
But I love playing guitar with you naked in the dark
I can't see you
But I can feel
The beating of our hearts

You tell me all your stories
All your plans, no regrets
About the lady you married in San Diego
She kept cashing in all those cheques
She filed for divorce in the spring
And in the winter you left
Away you went baby, cos like the wind
You never rest

You won't kiss me
When I smoke a cigarette
You say adventure, is all you have left
Oh, baby
Oh, don't you know it's all just noise
My down-home, Alabama Electric Blues Boy
But I love playing guitar with you naked in the dark
I can't see you
But I can feel
The beating of our hearts

Are you gonna take care of me, baby?
Will you see that I'm okay?
Do you get lost at the sight of the stars too?
Or is it all just play?
You want more, you want more
Though you've seen it all before
You know there's more
You know there's more
And it don't come knocking at your door

You won't kiss me
When I smoke a cigarette
But you say adventure
Is all you have left
Oh, baby
Don't you know it's all just noise?
My down-home, Missisippi Electric Blues boy
But I love playing guitar with you naked in the dark
I can't see you
But I can feel
The beating of our hearts
