Checkout Girls

Stay with me now

I feel like you're slipping away

there's a song in the air

that no-one is singing today

there are places to go

but somehow I feel we should stay

And the checkout girls sing a a song for the world

that goes round and round

and the anthem of the keys in the tills

makes a soothing sound

and the eyes and the ears aren't on the sky~

they're on the ground

Talk to me now

there are words in your mind worth saying

there's a something happening over here

even though the actors might only be playing

life is the thing

that can't be lost by delaying

Live with me now

I'm ready to hear your crying

risen again like the phoenix the ashes defying

in the silence we know

there's something beyond the dying

And sometimes I'm ready to know

sometimes I'm willing to go

for someone its happening slow

didn't you know
