[Verse 1]
I told you when your room was pink
[?] your windows won't help you think
Didn't want you to leave
Just wanted you to stay
Oh yeah yeah, honey by the way
Would you pay me oodles more honey
If I cried overtime at your door
Didn't want you to leave
Just wanted you to stay
Oh yeah yeah, honey by the way
Living's not easy now that you're gone
Colors from our pictures have withdrawn
Would you like to listen to old folk-baroque
Smile at your friends knowing they that don't smoke
But what's the fried egg without its own yolk
[Chorus]
Takes so long to see
Rivers run to the sea
It took so long for me
Rivers run to the sea
[Verse 2]
I told you while you knelt to pack
All the things that leave will soon come back
Didn't want you to leave
Just wanted you to stay
Honey, by the way
Living's not easy now that you're gone
Colors from our pictures have withdrawn
Would you like to listen to old folk-baroque
Smile at your friends knowing that they don't smoke
But what's the fried egg without its own yolk
[Chorus]
Takes so long to see
Rivers run to the sea
It took so long for me
Rivers run to the sea
