lyrics

I've been listening to a lot of Guy Clark
He's a little country, a little twang
He's got a song called The Dublin Blues
That sometimes I will play

After I get home from dinner and drinks
And things are moving slow
And now I'm making a list of things I would tell you
If you hadn't let me go.

And I've been reading Philip Roth
He's got one hell of a pen
You didn't like him the first time around
But you ought to try him again

Yeah, but all book pages are black and white
And I'm feeling pretty grey
And I'm making a list of things I would tell you
If only you had stayed

Oh, I'm walking slow by the mailbox
Hoping for a word
Oh, something like,
"Darling I'm sorry, this ain't what you deserve"

Now, I've been planting a few little flowers
And I'm baking my own bread
And I go running every morning
To try and clear my head

Yeah but the flowers froze,
And my bread won't rise
And the running's just for show
And I'm making a list of things I would tell you
If you hadn't let me go

I'm making a list of things I would tell you
If you hadn't let me go
