thoughtless kind

Singer:cale, john

when we grow tired of the friends we make

in case we mean to say something else

say they were the best of times we ever had

the best of times were the thoughtless kind

we dress conservatively at the best of times

prefer the shadows to the bright lights in your eyes

of the ones you love

the bright lights in the eyes of the one you love

what we see

what we imagine

the eyes tell us nothing

the bright lights in the eyes of the one we love will tell us nothing

like the scars of imagination

the scars of imagination

the bright lights in the eyes of the ones we love will tell us nothing

except that we're the thoughtless kind

so if you grow tired of the friends you make

never ever turn your back on them

say they were the best of times you ever had

the best of times were the thoughtless kind
