lyrics

We keep our roses on the table
Right next to clutchin' hands, emptied bottles and cups
Once topped off,
Now we're topped off

And now we're ready, willing, able
We've got our gloves and hats, I know where your shirt's at
I like that.
We leave our boots out on the mat

I don't mind filling up your glass
These are my eyes, these are your eyes, they match
My love is proved on your windowsill
It fits the bill
We'll make museums out of mills

And now the horse is out the stable
Watch it race around the track. See it relax.
These reins have slack,
And you know I've got your back

"That's not a spoon, it is a ladle"
And we dip it fast, into moonbound vats
Which we track,
We've got such a knack

The highway signs, go flying past
I'll be your eyes, you'll be my eyes, unlost and latched
Your love is proved on your windowsill
Hugging radio signals
We'll make museums out of mills

We keep our roses on the table
And our feet on the ground...
