Bob Mould - Gauze Of Friendship lyrics
[Bob Mould - Gauze Of Friendship lyrics]
You think you love him or someone like him
He reminds you of a boy
You dated once or twice
Just about the same size
Just about the same eyes
The only difference being the
Cadence in his voice
So much in common, woven out of cotton
Or silky like the spider's web
So fragile in the wind
The chains that bind us, serving to remind us
Anchors hold the ships at bay
When high tides rush in
Maybe a tattoo, or a name laid in the tile
I guess you think he's staying for a while
Something to remember
A faint and distant smile
I guess you plan on staying for a while
It's kind of frantic
We all long to be romantic
You try to give yourself away
And hope he never leaves
But nothing matters when heart
Goes pitter patter
No sense of unconditional
It's me who you deceive
A window with a view of present
Past and future
Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew
And mothers without fathers to
Help install the cupboards
Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew
It's kind of funny, today it might turn sunny
The birds are coming back
From winter flights away
And if you miss them
I'll be sure to wish them
A welcome back from both of us
And hope that they might stay
He reminds you of a boy
You dated once or twice
Just about the same size
Just about the same eyes
The only difference being the
Cadence in his voice
So much in common, woven out of cotton
Or silky like the spider's web
So fragile in the wind
The chains that bind us, serving to remind us
Anchors hold the ships at bay
When high tides rush in
Maybe a tattoo, or a name laid in the tile
I guess you think he's staying for a while
Something to remember
A faint and distant smile
I guess you plan on staying for a while
It's kind of frantic
We all long to be romantic
You try to give yourself away
And hope he never leaves
But nothing matters when heart
Goes pitter patter
No sense of unconditional
It's me who you deceive
A window with a view of present
Past and future
Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew
And mothers without fathers to
Help install the cupboards
Wrapped in the gauze of friendship anew
It's kind of funny, today it might turn sunny
The birds are coming back
From winter flights away
And if you miss them
I'll be sure to wish them
A welcome back from both of us
And hope that they might stay
