I saw him last night in the grocery store
Cracked up and chapped up his lips were like yours and
His hands were broken and smoking and leaving
And this is the reason I'm gone all the time
Anyway, you made up your mind

Well the girl he was with had the most beautiful skin
Just like the girl who you're now making love to
The skin on your belly was soft just like feathers
While outside the weather made love to the ground
Anyway, you put the window down

You made me cry and I made you go and now
I'm in the rain and you're in the snow
But the freckles on your shoulder and the dog in your bed
Somewhere in my memory you're saying that you love me
But that's not something you'd have said

I watched him leaving his hand on her back
I made up some memories of summer time and you and me and
Love in the canyons and sliding down sand dunes
And nights in the desert, sleeping on the ground
Anyway, it's been a long time now

And I can't remember the last night in your room
The smell of your body's all mixed up in my perfume
I remember waking up

I can feel that cold somewhere in my bones
