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
