BECAUSE OF YOU The sad sky lets the rain go slow Down a dog day afternoon Puddle jumpers in three piece suits Relive their long lost youth The birds try to sing in key But the world is out of tune Except for you Oh how I love you Mirrored faces in concrete skies Pollute the human sea The frantic flood of 9 to 5 Is slowly drowning me The perception of deceptive wealth Is all that I can see Except for you I love you When pan handling Peter Pans And Jesus with a frown Decorate their yellow brick roads With trinkets that they found When stuff is not enough And emptiness abounds I turn to you Oh how I love you The phone rings in the last day’s call And the coffee stops its brew A day lost just to survive Another day away from you I stand in line for the bus back home Three pieces load on two by two I turn to you Because of you Because of you Oh how I love you © McGie/Lundquist
