Текст песни
Quiet lonely day
On a miracle's highway
And traveling takes its toll
The highway's windy road
Didn't open up her soul
The way I thought it would
And I don't think that's good
Guess I thought it would've been the best she'd seen
The strawman's off the clock
She's waiting for his knock in her underwear
His foot falls on the stair
She greets him with a glare that says he'll have to fall
But with her back up against the wall
She suddenly recalls the strawman's just her dream
And it's never quite so clean
She makes the world around me seem
Lavender and wintergreen
When we're side by side
Now the strawman's been let loose
My dreams have been reduced by a quest for fame
Still the strawman feels no pain
She realized in shame and then the game is back
Then blue fades into black
Time takes back the slack she had when just seventeen
And it's never quite so clean
I make the world around her seem
Lavender and wintergreen
When we're side by side
Still a quiet lonely day
On a miracle's highway
And I am almost home
Pick up the phone
To say that living life alone ain't how the story ends
'Cause I am here to mend
But how much can she bend 'til on my side she'll lean?
And it's never quite so clean
She makes the world around me seem
Lavender and wintergreen
When we're side by side
When we're side by side
When we're side by side
When we're side by side
