Текст песни Careless - Live - Paul Kelly

How many cabs in New York City?
How many angels on a pin?
How many notes in a saxophone?
How many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times did you call my name, knock at the door but you couldn't get in?

I know I've been careless

I've been wrapped up in a shell nothing could get through to me
Acted like I didn't know I had friends or family
I saw worry in their eyes, it didn't look like fear to me

I know I've been careless (I lost my tenderness)
I've been careless (I took bad care of this)

Like a mixture in a bottle, like a frozen-over lake
Like a long time painted smile I got so hard I had to crack
You were there, you held the line, you're the one that brought me back

I know I've been careless (I lost my tenderness)
I've been careless (I took bad care of this)

How many cabs in New York City?
How many angels on a pin?
How many notes in a saxophone?
How many tears in a bottle of gin?
How many times did you call my name, knock at the door but you couldn't get in?
How many stars in the milky way?
How many way can you lose a friend?
