Sophia

Sophia, Sophia say you'll be mine
Don't leave me hanging out to dry
I wait at the factory gates seven days a week
Sophia, Sophia, so fine

You know outside every strong man
There's a weak one trying to get in
Every single good deed's
Just a stone's throw from sin
You sank me with one shot
Just below the waterline
Sophia, Sophia, so fine

I painted you with street signs
To find a way to your heart
But you got another lover
And it's tearing me apart
I thrive on complications
I'm a good old-fashioned masochist
I never got the message
So many signs I missed
I was in no condition to say
'Let’s wait and see'
There's nothing in life so tradgic
As a missed opportunity
So despite the miles
And because the night
Intercity 125
Sophia, Sophia, so fine

Well I don't know how we got here
Dumb luck or a twist of fate
But you're walking down the hillside
And you're opening the gate

Sophia, Sophia, seven days a week
Have I told you lately
Yeah I'm almost complete?

Sophia, Sophia, it cuts me up both ways
Try to see it from every point of view
Everything worth fighting for
Comes at such a cost

Sophia, Sophia, I'll never
Forget all the good things I lost
Sophia, Sophia, seven acre smile
Tiffany blue looking at you and your child
Late summer sunshine
Splashed across the floor
Now I know it's all in the details
Now I know what this is for
Three generations walk together
Once more
