Icons - Sunday lyrics

rate me

Twirling in the night air

I never thought it'd last

The card was drawn the joker

I almost had to laugh

With a will and nerves of granite

I guess I can't complain

Thought I wanted both worlds

Still I'm happy on this train

My soul is always with her

But I don't need a home

I don't sleep

I can't eat

I'm fine alone

CHORUS:

Jeannie was a dancer

She lived on Hamden Row

I wanted to take her with me

But Jeannie she said no

A beautiful woman with looks that would last

I almost faltered almost strayed from my path

But I just couldn't move from uranium groove

So I gave her the choice to follow my move

She had her own path she needed to dance

A perfect ballerina who could and who can't

Not to ask twice that was my vice

But don't you understand it was a wife or a life?

CHORUS

I sit on this wheel of knowledge

Thinking of all the women that have been in my life

Just one stands out

Maybe I took it too far

Proposing marriage is a very big step you know

But it really doesn't matter now, now does it?

I just wanted someone along for the ride

So I didn't have to ride alone

But she looked at me said baby, baby

I have a ride of my own

And her blue eyes

I saw them turning away

In the swirl of a fandango

I fell down to my knees

I cried

Why is it that I didn't know?

CHORUS

REPEAT 2ND VERSE
