Accordion Song

All day, all night

I've been lying here while the waves break at the foot of my bed

And the dust whispers over my head all day, all night

While comfort gathers and sweeps away yesterday

Ah

I think I'll get up tomorrow

I think maybe I won't

I think the world should come to meet me

I could stay here so easily

Break, break

At the foot of my bed I'll see

All day, all night

I've been over here listening to us talk about nothing much

And you know we make such fun

But this maybe isn't the surest way to get things done

Oh, no, no

I think you'll kiss me tomorrow

I think I'll kiss you tonight

I think that you don't want to know me

And I think I might

If you take me to the water I could lay down and swim

Because I do like the feel of the salt on my skin

Because I do like the feel of you spiralling in

Because I

If you take me to the water I could lay down and swim

Because I like the feel of the cold on my skin

Because I like the feel of you tumbling in

Because I

Now dust covers everything if you let it

And winter comes too soon for them that swim their summers away

Complacency of the sort that is everything you buy it

When someone won't listen to a word that you say

Hey

I'll give it all up tomorrow

Everything I didn't do today

It might not change the way I am

But it might clear some cobwebs away

Break, break

At the foot of my bed
