Til Your Ship Comes In

You're kidding me, right?
With that dot in your eye
You went mouthing off to strangers
Til you picked the wrong guy

Frozen on page one
Of some memory book, oh I still know that look
Buried in a purple wash of some
Photoshop collage

But I love you now
(They hauled you back in)
And I loved you then
(For fingerprints)
And I'll love you, til your ship comes in

There's no words left for your sir
Just spit in your eye
And the spider webs
Go red and blue
When the cops go by

But I love you now
(They hauled you back in)
And I loved you then
(For fingerprints and photos)
And I'll love you, til your ship comes in

On the right track
On the right track
Gonna cut you straight
Save a little face
Gonna act your age

Everybody wants you
In a different way
We call you by a different name
We call you by a different name

I can't tune you out after all we did
But it sure can be hard to forgive
When you're like

"Pray for me old flame
And my chipped up smile
I shiver like a shadow
In your big black eyes"

But I love you now
(They hauled you back in)
And I loved you then
(For fingerprints and photos)
And I'll love you, til your ship comes in
