transatlantic blues

monday morning

i've been drinking with a friend

spent the past week chasing heaven

but i just seem to descend

into places i wish no one had to go

guess i'm looking like i'm high on life

but i've never felt so low

only passing time

just hoping to unwind

late december

only god knows where i've been

but i've heard the sign of witness

she's my document of sin

so before you say i act like someone else

tell me what else i should do

when i'm still waiting for myself

only passing time

hoping to unwind

'cause it's a strange world

and strangest of all is the fact

that i'm with you

i've done some strange things

and strangest of all are the things

i didn't do to end up with

the transatlantic blues

transatlantic blues

i've been drifting like

the wind across the seas

now i'm washed up

on the same shores

where the breeze once carried me

all i have left

is every word i never said

when i see you every one of them

still echoes in my head

only passing time

just hoping to unwind

'cause it's a strange world

and strangest of all is the fact

that i'm with you

i've done some strange things

and strangest of all are the things

i didn't do to end up with

the transatlantic blues

transatlantic blues

transatlantic blues

i know it's a woman's world

and lord knows that

i had my share

i've been close to paradise

but no one ever took me there

entering your gates of jade

and ended up

in my own hell

now i've finally got the time

to realize how far i fell

well you broke me

i can hardly breathe

pour that magic potion over me

come on

kill me

with your sweet caress

help me come alive

with every little bit

'cause it's a strange world

and strangest of all is the fact

that i'm with you

i've done some strange things

and strangest of all are the things

i didn't do to end up with

the transatlantic blues

transatlantic blues

transatlantic blues

transatlantic blues

monday morning i've been

drinking once again
