I remember all the puzzles That you used to bend the rules I was tempted by confession But I saw your face refuse I was always 23 when you called Though the furrows weren't convincing And the crow's feet lingered far too long She was sinking from the corner of my mind When the past was just revision And the sidekicks held the prize Too much hanging by the water Til we're wading at our knees An accomplice for the nightbirds When the station drones repeat But there's green in those baby blues I recovered all precision From a wilted aim I threw You're a shield that won't be shadowed An affray that I pursued Put it all on 23 when you called In a town that paints it's riddles To the punch-drunk floors below Taking shelter from the ashes in my eyes Hanging all my contradictions From the sparks that fled the fire It's impossible to wonder How the breaks fell in your hands An acclaim found in translation An appeal on your command But there's green in those baby blues

Keep your head above the water, And your eyes beneath the clouds. Tell your daddy's only daughter She's the girl I love. With her hands that tell the weather, With her eyes that dance for me, With her lips that whisper 'Never', She's the only girl for me. I won't fight to have and hold her, I won't run to join the fray. Though I'll never make a soldier, Meet me on my wedding day. Keep your head above the water, And your eyes beneath the clouds. Tell your daddy's only daughter, She's the girl I love. She's the girl I love.
