Studio Version: found on the
NZ 'Get Some Sleep' CD single.
Gracie takes the bottles from the
porch where you have left them
There are age old dregs of wine
you never shared
Drivin' down the motorway with all
the best intentions
She's a picture of perfection with
her cotton colored hair
Chorus:
But its you she thinks of in the
hours while she's awake
She takes her lipstick from her
case to make a smile
You she thinks of when she thinks
of her mistakes
Regret's an open road that stretches
out for miles
Coffee pots and bottles cups and
all of this disorder
She soaks the plates in the dishwater
'till it's cold
Her reflection in the windows of
the stores around the corner
Walk beside her while she's striding
down the road
Chorus
La la la la la...etc
Chorus
