lyrics

I was trying to look away but couldn't see
further than here, I watched my eyelids make believe
that I could look
as far as to Gran Canaria
where I taught you the breaststroke,
stroke by stroke

you in your chloriny salty hair
you looked alright from in my Baden-Baden chair
helpless and pretty beautiful

you were the softest pear
I put you back like that in there

love's a sneaky weekend when it breaks
in through your bedroom window friday morning and it makes
you think you can go in
with your head already sparkling
my appetite was just as big
as what I thought you could give

and I've been close to a lot of people on the subway
but never as close as I was to you on that day
the first I saw of you
was your back from the seat behind
I was breathing down your neck
and you couldn't look back

helpless and pretty beautiful

you were the softest pear
I put you back like that in there
I put you back in there

the street's all emptied out and there's a summer night
going on and so it's like being inside of a private room
you can look up and see the same atlantic sky
that almost made a spanish puppy want to cry

from my Baden-Baden chair
you looked like the softest pear
