In a motel room in Colorado Springs

We learned what impatience brings

To women who fool around

That summer was a strung-out mess

And you swore to God you had the perfect fix

And a plan to get us out
Am2 G F
You said, "Don't you turn around"

I sat in the living room

And watched your girlfriend pack her things

Our record, Buffy Sainte-Marie

And we held hands and cried

So I took a redeye from the Bay

The next time we would meet

Mistakes made into hymns

I said, "Don't you make a sound"

"Nothing's careful in desire, especially now"
