Waitress 05:06
You wine, you dine me you take me out to state your doubt I smile, we talk, you shine your practiced words in the back of your mind You wine, you dine me you take me out to state your doubt the clues are there for the taking lips wide, your eyes fixed outside You wine, you dine me you take me out to state your doubt the years are broken in a moment and I go and leave you to your waitress no tears no words no sad goodbyes no tears no words you won't see me cry I sent a postcard home I didn't say you left me all alone and I'll smile and I 'll say Im fine bring me another cup of tea sun on my face, salt in my hands
