new york isle/wasn't mine
Was it me/or just my kind
Spinning softly/and talking cheap
Cause there's no place left to be
But a road that just goes on
To every leaving town
Friends as lovers
And lovers as friends
Shall we dance/into the night
As the jukebox moans/and pours us tight
Friends and lovers
And lovers and friends
Cause there's no place left to be
Than wrapped around you now
In every passing town
Us as lovers/and us as friends
There's no prayer/by a dashboard light
Flagging goals/and blowing signs
Cause they say/you are the one
And there's no place left to be
Than where you stand right now
I walk these leaving towns
Friends as lovers
And lovers as friends
To your back/i speak aloud
To your face/i'm only proud
We're friends with lovers
And lovers with friends
Darling boy (she says)
You're on my mind (she says)
I feel your skin (she says)
As if it's mine (she says)
This pain is sweet/too sweet to touch
And there's no place left to be
Than the shadow of your life
In everyone passing town
Friends and lovers
And lovers as friends
