People And Tables Lyrics

People And Tables lyrics

the people and tables are set to the bone 

 the ladies in waiting long to go home 

 wallflowers drooping against pastel shades 

 oh for a man with no lock on his gate 

 

 waiting for nothing confuses the mind 

 letting go pieces for no one to find 

 the smell from the afternoon sits in the air 

 oh for a man with no back to his chair 

 

 i never wanted i never wanted 

 and i never got i never got 

 i never wanted i never wanted 

 and i never got i never once got 

 

 sweeping the outskirts and keeping the jar 

 something had been telling me you were not far 

 from a jewel in a casket to a pearl in a shell 

 oh for a man with no stories to tell 

 

 i never wanted i never wanted 

 and i never got i never got 

 i never wanted i never wanted 

 and i never got i never once got 

 

 the people and tables are set to the bone 

 the ladies in waiting long to go home 

 wallflowers drooping against pastel shades 

 oh for a man with no lock on his gate 

 

 waiting for nothing confuses the mind 

 letting go pieces for no one to find 

 the smell from the afternoon sits in the air 

 oh for a man with no back to his chair 

 

 i never wanted i never wanted 

 and i never got i never got 

 i never wanted i never wanted 

 and i never got i never once got
