English Tea

What have I done?

Have I lost my mind?

I've preached on the cheaters

That turn a blind eye this time

And I get so lonely without you



I love your curly blonde hair

And I love the time that you take

I love we're only together for this evening

That ain't enough time for mistakes

And I never feel lonely around you



You take on mythical forms

And you never seem to get bored

You say 'I like some of your songs'

And 'what's the harm'?

The liquor over here's stronger

I cannot stay very much longer

I don't know where I belong

But, sugar, it ain't in your arms



Has your wristwatch been fixed?

Has your compass been broke?

You don't care what time it is

You don't care where it is we go

And I don't know nothing about you



You take on mythical forms

And you never seem to get bored

You claim you like some of my songs

So what's the harm?

The liquor over here's stronger

And I cannot stay very much longer

I don't know where I belong

But, child, it ain't in your arms
