Petersborough Lyrics

Lonely and the only

And you're clawing through the smoke

Where the poet sits away

They don't even write poems

And if I knew what was wrong, I'd let you know

Buy me a drink, it's no good to drink alone



Lonely at the only

And four nights out of three

It's not that I've been crying,

It's just that my eyes leak

If I knew what was wrong, I'd let you know

Buy me a drink, it's no good to drink alone



There will be a getaway plan

From boys with the parlor hands

My big smile meets your right cheer

Who here's having the harder year?



Do you remember when the water came?

Do you remember the when flood

Filled the basements up with water

And the windows up with mud?

Do you remember when the water came?

Do you remember when the flood

Filled the cellars up with water

And the windows up with mud?



It's slow at the only

Four nights out of three

And it's not that I'm crying, it's that my eyes leak

And it's lonely at the only

Clawing through the smoke

And oh, it's so hard to know

And if I knew what was wrong, I'd let you know

So buy me a drink, it's no good to drink

Buy me a drink, it's no good to drink alone.
