Roches - To Alaska With Love lyrics

rate me

She tried to push him away with a<br />

Ten foot pole<br />

Saying i'm just a crusty old donut<br />

Without any hole<br />

Wearying bewildered bachelor how<br />

Could he know<br />

That she'd move her suitcase to his place a year ago<br />

<br />

Where he stood in the doorway no clothes wearing<br />

Asking permission to give all his love and his caring<br />

Love and care<br />

<br />

Theirs is a real thing, a dish in the sink<br />

A dog in the stairwell making a stink<br />

They got a true love so real you can feel it<br />

<br />

For christmas he gave her<br />

A silver and gold jewish star<br />

He put it on top of the tree<br />

And said there you are<br />

She giggled and cried and<br />

Rolled on the living room floor<br />

And laughed at all of his jokes<br />

So he told her some more<br />

<br />

There he stood in the doorway<br />

Crumpled and daring<br />

Asking permission to give all his love<br />

And his caring<br />

Love and care<br />

<br />

Theirs is a real thing<br />

A working man's shoe<br />

Worn through at the sole<br />

As good as new<br />

They got a true love<br />

So real you can feel it<br />

<br />

Five o'clock by the window pane watching the rain<br />

New york city blues oh, the rain's coming down hard<br />

It's dark out there you gotta have something to do<br />

<br />

So one day she said i must go to alaska this winter<br />

He yelled and kicked the table his toe got a splinter<br />

Still he escorted her up to the gate at the airport<br />

Saying dammit i don't understand what you have to go there for<br />

<br />

Calendar pages were flipping he stayed home waiting<br />

Saying oh this woman i love is so irritating<br />

<br />

Theirs is a real thing, a welcome home kiss<br />

The smell of his whiskers that she did miss<br />

They got a true love so real you can feel it
