Your red lips once were rubies I would dig out from the depths And treasure and for those pursuing such love Have never seen the redness of a blushing cheek
When women come and go I know that time is on the edge of escape Sometimes it frees itself from ticking clocks Sometimes it flies and never comes back
Women aren't time, but the time I spend with them Digging out the best of them always stays Nothing remains, but anger and resentment I wish I could have 'em all
A young girl tuckin' her skirt in her stockings It's a long ride to the edge of tomorrow I'll settle for the sun strip
