Forgive me my ties, connections and loose ends This is for the eyes buried in my neck With a promise of the future, of the uncertain I play it so sure Our drifting thing will someday land
And I could take you home The lights would twitch and blow And you could finally see The "us" that we're supposed to be
When you picture me away, It's Alfie Elkins '66 But you didn't see my face when all the kids dancing brought down that place I was more Alvy Singer Each time you put me on the train I'm less and less sure you'll do it again Don't do it again
'Cuz we could raise our flag First hem the tattered edge Close our eyes and be In love at seventeen (Close) Close our eyes and be (Close) Close our eyes and be (Close) Close our eyes and be in love at seventeen
