A Thousand Times Over

Opal and quartz
Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl
Solitaire in the sunroom
Finally out of the throes
Wish you were here
Raspberry beer
Caught up in the gossip
I almost forgot why I love you so much

You said the words I thought a thousand times over
And through the curtain breach, a ray of light implored me
To step into the misty night and go and find you
You son of a gun
You could get whatever you want
You would get whatever you want

I used to get my coat and go home and self-loathe
But now I stay 'til the last call
And I talk about myself
But I wish you were here
And I know that's not fair, but
I miss when it hurt sometimes
But I like where I am

Let it be known I've buried the heavy hatchet
Sat with the collies and threw out dreams of Manhattan
It used to pour out of me, power ballad
But it wasn't love
When you could get whatever you want
And you would get whatever you want

Opal and quartz
Your heart is impermeable
You in town used to mean a day drink
But now it just means nothing
Hanging out the sun roof, screaming
"I'll be true, all my loving I will send to you, darling"
Darling, darling, darling
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
