Lyrics

Nigel I Tried

stranded he waits in the atmosphere
yearns as he burns... but we can't be near
Nigel I've tried... I've inquired for you
Cried and I've lied... it's all I can do

Yes it's true, it isn't what the good girls do
but I am only skin and gin and love... so much love
Yes it's true... I'm never giving up on you
but I am only skin and gin and love... so much love

Do what you will, sir I'm yours but please
after your fill, your assistance please...
yes, my request is a symphony
largo my love, you'll return to me

Yes it's true, it isn't what the good girls do
but I am only skin and gin and love... so much love
Yes it's true... I'm never giving up on you

we ride hard through the hay and the apple
drink at the well and then back on the saddle
we wind west like a sun like a wagon
I turn to you but the air turns tobacco
the day bakes and it breaks and it waits for thunder
I look above at the fate that we're under
why did you go just when I needed you
now I'm left to whisper the word goodbye

Yes it's true, it isn't what the good girls do
but I am only skin and gin and love... so much love
Yes it's true... I'm never giving up on you
