Suddenly afternoons seem much longer As I ponder the reason for these five paper mache walls
And suddenly perfect nails seem quite useless As I undress for no one but the shower
We wore our love so proud You wore that smile too loud
Suddenly afternoons make me call out To those boy scouts Be careful of those sandstorms and cyclones Suddenly I get caught Hiding in a teacup You say, stand up, and be the woman I love Again
We wore our love so proud You wore that smile too loud
A little time, a little time, a little time To remember the plan Look straight ahead, straight ahead, straight ahead Through that faded tin can A little time, a little time, a little time A little time... What was the point my friend Chicken you run again Chicken you run
Suddenly all I see Is your green raincoat And that sailboat And your umbrella that both of us hated to use Suddenly all those love songs don't seem foolish And I notice that I'm singing every goddamn word
We wore our love so proud You wore that smile too loud
