Pink Clouds
[Verse 1]
Well, it's late, the clouds are turning pink
And I don't think these skies will clear
Well, you're tired and you're leaning on the sink
I think you want me out of here

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I could leave right now
Well, I could leave right now

[Verse 2]
But it was you that asked me here this time
Breathless and hardly forgiving
And you lined up the bottles of wine
Disaster in the winds, just laughing

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I could leave right now
Well, I could leave right now

[Chorus]
But there's snow on your cheek and the light's getting weak
Don't you think we should turn around?
Yeah, the moon's coming up and I know that you're tough
But it's a long way into town
Yeah, there's snow on your cheek and the light's getting weak
Don't you think we should turn around?
Don't you think we should turn around?
[Verse 3]
Well, with the sun and the mercury sunk
I picture quite a different scene
Slowly and methodically drunk
But it's clear that we're skating to the end of the stream

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I should leave right now
Well, I should leave right now

[Verse 4]
Hands on the table throwing dice
Hands on your knee folded tight
Well, there's black ice and look at shivers
On your windows like outlines in the night

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Well, I should leave right now
I won't leave right now

[Chorus]
But there's snow on your cheek and the light's getting weak
Don't you think we should turn around?
Yeah, the wind's riding up and I know that you're tough
It's a long way into town
Yeah there's snow on your cheek and the light's getting weak
Don't you think we should turn around?
Don't you think we should turn around?
