paroles de chanson St. Patrick - James Yorkston

I didn? t sleep at all last night
I thought my heart had mastered the run of these seas
But they appear not to care about calming lately
I awoke with a smart and a look at the phone.
I swear that I would have called you if I? d been sure you were alone.
And doesn? t that drive things home?

The hardest time to forget is when sleep clears your mind,
Bringing up what might have been, and who? s by her side.
And if I appear forlorn, that? s the reason truly.
Should I find myself a surrogate to keep the winters warm
Blame her for my former love and blunt her of her charms?

Oh dear Saint Patrick, I pray for some water
Jut let me quench my thirst this morning after.
And this girl by my side, well who knows the future?
But if I appear forgetful she? s the reason on my mind
If you detect a smile it? s as I dream of foreign lands
And letting things get out of hand
Is exactly what I? ve got planned!
