Tanqueray

She mainly had eyes for the summer
Though native to cold mountain air
She was a midnight runner
Never belonged anywhere
A war going on in a seashell
Searching for a place to belong
Living out her last days in a basement apartment
With the curtains drawn

And I said, "It'd be a shame if we
Didn't take some time to see"

Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
Tanqueray

Can I meet you one town over so my ex-husband doesn't see?
That'd be just the thing to get him riled up going round
Makin' all sorts of new trouble for me
And I just, I just couldn't leave you alone there
Lost in some little town

So I said, "Give your heart a shake and
Come with me now"

Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
Tanqueray
Oh tanqueray
Tanqueray

There in the blur of a brand new love
Stood all that we were, still holdin' on
To what we deserved and what we believed all along

I said, "t'd be a shame if we
Didn't find some way to be"

Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
Tanqueray heaven high in the pine
Take a photo for another time
Should we forget how we feel?
Oh tanqueray

Tanqueray
Oh tanqueray
