I will rustle your lashes loose after we have travelled;
Like the leaves from the trees when Autumn unravels,
I will pinch them in my tips, and place them on my lips,
Stoop down and kiss you on the cheek,
Sweetheart,
Stoop down and kiss you on the cheek,
And every week I'll show you something else,
And make you feel better about yourself,
The letters will fly over the sea,
And I will write you without poetry,
Sweetheart,
I will write you without poetry,
Sweetheart,
Let me tell you something you don't know,
Sweetheart,
When I'm with you I wish I didn't have to go,
Sweetheart,
I wish that I didn't have to go,
I will write down the ways of your hearts and tongues,
I will write about the rain and that one day Glasgow sun
I've got forty years left in this skin,
When my plane arrives watch it roll in,
Sweetheart,
When my plane arrives watch it roll in,
Sweetheart,
Let me tell you something you don't know,
Sweetheart,
When I'm with you I wish I didn't have to go,
Sweetheart,
I wish that I didn't have to go,
Sweetheart,
Let me tell you something you don't know,
Sweetheart,
When I'm with you I wish I didn't have to go,
Sweetheart,
I wish that I didn't have to go,
Sweetheart,
I wish that I didn't have to go,
Sweetheart,
I wish that I didn't have to go.
