Landlady

Lyrics

Roam, the phone is where I live til I get home
 And when the doorbell rings
 You tell me that I have a key
 ♪
 I ask you, how you know it's me
 ♪
 The road, no road without a turn and if there was
 The road would be too long
 What keeps us standing in this view
 Is the view that we can be brand new
 ♪
 The landlady takes me up in the air
 I go, I go where I would not dare
 Landlady shows me the stars up there
 I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
 And I'll never know, never know what starving poets meant
 Cos' when I was broke
 It was you that always paid the rent (ah yeah)
 ♪
 Space, her place is where I found my parking space
 And when I'm losing ground
 You know she gives it back to me
 
 She whispers "don't do, just be"
 The landlady takes me up in the air
 I go, I go where I would not dare
 Landlady shows me the stars up there
 I'm weightless, weightless when she is there
 And I'll never know
 Never know what starving poets meant
 'Cause when I was broke
 It was you that always paid the rent
 ♪
 Every wave that broke me
 Every song that wrote me
 Every dawn that woke me
 Was to get me home to you, see
 Every soul that left me
 Every heart that kept me
 The strangers that protected me
 To bring me back to you
 Every magic potion
 Every false emotion
 How unswerving our devotion
 To the lies we know are almost true
 Every sweet confusion
 Every grand illusion
 I will win and call it losing
 If the prize is not for you
