Tell Me Boy Lyrics

I've been lonely in the city

Is there someone I could call

Is there anyone I should have left for you

Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies

I bet you know that this was right

I can see it in your eyes, you can't lie

The stillness makes me sick

No more than a boy you are

Hands are shaking eyes are sweating

While I'm waiting patiently through slow time

Tell me what you do

When there's no reason to be back soon

Tell me what you do

When no one is really after you

Tell me, boy

Tell me

Tell me what you do

When there's no reason to be back soon

Tell me what you do

When no one is really after you

Tell me what you do

When you dance to your own tune tell me

Walk me out

You'd better lift me up

You'd better find the way to get back to me

Dancing on the sand

Sit and drowse all day and night

The tide is rolling in as I check

The cold-water lap

To be the object

Of such irrational fear of love

Is to dream knowing dreams are

Nothing like the things we do

The love we had you painted black

The love we had you painted black

Tell me what you do

When there's no reason to be back soon

Tell me what you do

When no one is really after you

Tell me what you do

When you dance to your own tune, tell me

Tell me what you do

When there's no reason to be back soon

Tell me what you do

When no one is really after you

Tell me what you do

When you dance to your own tune tell me

Tell me boy

Tell me boy

Tell me boy

Tell me boy

Tell me boy

But the sweetest soul

Has no grudges no

Expectations, so

I'll let you go

'Cause the love we had

You took it back

The love we had

You painted black
