Iâll remember the wisdom I took from you
On that morning I woke before the dew
In borrowed flat that overlooked the river
Where I gave you all a night girl could deliver
âCause your poetry and soft voice made me quiver
Your skin on my hands too
Off to Paris, or wherever the intellects call
Hey there baby, you know Iâve seen âem all
So donât taunt me with your hazy words and merlot
Iâll be off to Detroit, Michigan tomorrow
And donât think Iâm carrying all that much sorrow
Or that much hope for you
Chorus:
I only get down when my love comes though
I only get down when thereâs nothing else to do
Donât pull me around
Iâm a mess
Iâm a fool
Iâm a seven story wreck
But my love ainât no lie
Itâs just streaming out of check
The one thing I still know is how morning comes around
Out on the riverview
You could paint me the way the kingdom fell
Serenade me âbout a world gone straight to hell
Yeah but you wonât ask me who here is in danger
Or who in their own world feels like a stranger
Just get your wine and cheap dope from my manger
Your lips from my ears too
Chorus
Well now baby, if the wishinâ could make it true
Would my heart be as covered and cold as you?
When Iâm pounding on the table âtil youâll hold me
And I screamed for what I knew youâd never tell me
I know I took a lot out of you
But I could take a lot too
Like I took in your round face and your cologne
And those scribbled, crumpled notes that I took home
And some other things my heart just wonât condone
Alone on the riverview
Chorus
