Poison Lovers — текст песни (Steve Earle)

I was almost out of here

Nearly left this time

I saw you in my rearview mirror

And I pulled up on a dime

But nothin ventured, nothin lost

You cant say we didnt try

That is unless you weigh the cost

Of every tear we cried



Chorus:

Why do we do this to each other

I guess we were always poison lovers



If you could look me in the eye

And tell me what you see

Maybe you can tell me why

I let you torture me

I know that your lips are soft

And they sing the sweetest songs

But Ive been listenin long enough

My heart has turned to stone



Chorus



Another time, another place

Another wind to blame

Cover every track and trace

Ill find you just the same

And even if we made our peace

And went our separate ways

Youd go west and Id go east

And wed meet here in this place
