Hospitals And Jails lyrics

We could sit beneath the evening
And let the day turn blue
I could never let the darkness
Replace the thought of you
C`mon darling let`s catch that train
To wherever we call god
Maybe it`s in massachusettes

I`ve got your love draped all around me like
A big black cape, a big black cape
All the billboards on the highway say
Don`t be late, don`t be late

I can always count on your love to be my bail
We`ll go traveling on from year to year
Just you and i, my dear
Well i woke up in the middle of the kitchen floor
I was listening for your knocking
But you weren`t outside my door
And i know that you won`t be coming `round
