G's Trivialities

Every night I’m lyin’ in bed
holdin’ you close in my dreams,
thinkin’ about all the things that we said
and comin’ apart at the seams.

We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough.
I know you were tryin’
To give me the best of your love.

Beautiful faces and loud empty places,
look at the way that we live
Wastin’ our time on cheap talk and wine
left us so little to give.

That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
that we could never rise above
but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love.

O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’ you get the best of my love
You get the best of my love
O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’ you get the best of my love
You get the best of my love

I’m goin’ back in time and it’s a sweet dream,
it was a quiet night and I would be all right
if I could go on sleeping.

But every mornin’ I wake up and worry
what’s gonna happen today.
You see it your way and I see it mine
but we both see it slippin’ away.

You know we always had each other, baby,
I guess that wasn’t enough.
Oh, but here in my heart
I give you the best of my love.

O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’ every night and day
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’ oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oh
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’ you get the best of my love
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’ mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
You get the best of my love (the best of my love)
O-o-o-oh sweet darlin’ you got it, you got it
You get the best of my love
The best of my love

Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the building scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.

Don’t let it bring you down
It’s only castles burning,
Find someone who’s turning
And you will come around.

Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,
If you’re walking home alone.

Don’t let it bring you down
It’s only castles burning,
Just find someone who’s turning
And you will come around.

Don’t let it bring you down
It’s only castles burning,
Just find someone who’s turning
And you will come around.

Sometimes I feel so happy,
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
But mostly you just make me mad.
Baby, you just make me mad.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

Thought of you as my mountain top,
Thought of you as my peak.
Thought of you as everything,
I’ve had but couldn’t keep.
I’ve had but couldn’t keep.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see,
I’d put you in the mirror,
I put in front of me.
I put in front of me.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

Skip a life completely.
Stuff it in a cup.
She said, Money is like us in time,
It lies, but can’t stand up.
Down for you is up.”
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

It was good what we did yesterday.
And I’d do it once again.
The fact that you are married,
Only proves, you’re my best friend.
But it’s truly, truly a sin.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.
Linger on, your pale blue eyes.

Well, I Woke Up This Morning
And I Got Myself A Beer.

The Future’s Uncertain
And The End Is Always Near…
