Copper Shades – A Balladeer – letras

The copper shades you woreWere very big and greenAnd I was only feather-lightAbove the engine-roarIn the smell of gasolineYou’d make sure I’d hold on tightAnd there we’d go with no directionAnywhere the wind would blowAnd I would ask you all these questionsWhile your pride of me would showThen in an act of loveYou’d pull me close and checkMy orange-colored water wingsYou’d turn the engine offAnd somewhere from the backWe’d both jump in for a swimAnd there we’d go with no directionAnywhere the wind would blowAnd I would ask you all these questionsWhile your pride of me would showAnd safe in your CalypsoWith the world of wise Cousteau belowAnd ice cream castles overheadNow how was I to knowHow was I to knowA towel round my chestYour copper shades back onWe would speed up fastAnd dry up by the sun
