Sweetheart, You're Surrounded

Walked in on your own
And faked an awkward confidence with your
Room-dividing stride
Borrowed from Monroe
And opened eyes

Displayed my love for you
With a spray can on the viaduct
"Jill, I'd die for you"
Now passersby and passengers will know
How much I care
Only a fool
Would climb up there

Sweetheart, can't you see?
I'd sooner take my life than see you leave
And you're surrounded by those who'd agree
And have you take me up on it tonight
Well, I'd be obliged

You've left me here again
In the shadow of your leaving train
Jealous of the rails
That carry you, and so I bade farewell
And see you there
Hope for the best
And so, take care

Sweetheart, can't you see?
I'd sooner take my life than see you leave
And you're surrounded by those who'd agree
And have you take me up on it tonight
Well, I'd be obliged

And in a sorry way
I hate to see you go
And so I sadly say
I love you
