Guillemots - Sao Paulo lyrics

rate me

Sit down my love of all good spaces

and breathe my love let's all be spent

i'm going to tell you both a story

about some memories that i dreamt

see i've lost love in many places

not least the streets of san paolo

and friends especially, i didn't make them

a ten floor window to her home

sometimes i could cry for miles

sometimes i could cry for miles

sometimes i could cry for miles

but i don't

so hush the shadows in the oak tree

be still you curl upon the moor

my heart has fallen upon the wayside

i cannot claim her anymore

so don your duffel coats quite slowly

and this sad jury has ajurned

while on the streets of old san paolo

i watch my baby being burned

sometimes i could cry for miles

sometimes i could cry for miles

sometimes i could cry for miles

but i don't

sometimes i could cry ah sometimes

drop my bags and run for miles

and sometimes i could live my life

but i wont, but i won't

have you ever been thrown across the water

have you ever been thrown across the water

have you ever been thrown across the water

till there's no skin left on your bones

thrown across water

thrown across water

thrown across water

like a stone

get me a doctor

get me a doctor

who will get rid of my bones

get me a lover

get me a lover

who will leave my head alone

get me a soldier

get me a soldier

who will fight me in this war

get me an exit

i need an exit

i need a window or door

thrown across water

thrown across water

thrown across water

like a stone

get me a lawyer

get me a lawyer

who will sue the world for me

get me a person

get me a person

get me a person

who isn't me

cuz i'm getting tired

i'm getting tired

of my stupid little face

cuz i don't belong here

i don't belong here

don't belong in this horse race

thrown across water

thrown across water

thrown across water

like a stone
