Slack Jaw

The Bluetones

Compositor: Adam Devlin / Eds Chesters / Mark Morris

It was a month and a day
It seems a lifetime away
When we first met in town and spent a night
We drank and we talked until the music was stopped
And the barman came and turned back on the light
We arranged again to meet
And as I walked off down the street
I swear that I felt ten feet tall
Was I dizzy from the wine?
Or maybe I just missed the signs
'Cause now you won't return my calls
I hope that one day when you're ancient
Preparing for another lonely night
You close your eyes for one last time
And you see me in my prime
The great lost love of my life
