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
