I've Been Around the World
Darling you still come to me so late
your eyes are tired, your words are filled with hate
come on now, dear, be still and rest your head
why must you bring anger to my bed
I've been around the world just once before
and no one knows quite what they're fighting for
not anymore
I'm just like you I buy what I am sold
and just like me you tell just what you're told
but if we leave right now for Mexico
I'm sure we'd find a way to let it go
I've been around the world enough to see
that all the angry men will disagree
while lovers flee
It's later still I whisper in your ear
you're fast asleep but hopefully you'll hear
"just go out now and give them all your love"
I lie here wondering what you're dreaming of
I've been around the world just once before
and no one knows quite what they're fighting for
not anymore
its later still, I'm longing for your gaze
that hides behind your soft and tired face
and you awake and much to my relief
you gaze upon me sweetly as I sleep
your eyes are tired, your words are filled with hate
come on now, dear, be still and rest your head
why must you bring anger to my bed
I've been around the world just once before
and no one knows quite what they're fighting for
not anymore
I'm just like you I buy what I am sold
and just like me you tell just what you're told
but if we leave right now for Mexico
I'm sure we'd find a way to let it go
I've been around the world enough to see
that all the angry men will disagree
while lovers flee
It's later still I whisper in your ear
you're fast asleep but hopefully you'll hear
"just go out now and give them all your love"
I lie here wondering what you're dreaming of
I've been around the world just once before
and no one knows quite what they're fighting for
not anymore
its later still, I'm longing for your gaze
that hides behind your soft and tired face
and you awake and much to my relief
you gaze upon me sweetly as I sleep
