I wish I had a saxophone

I'd play the blues til you came home

With a little sadness in your eye

Now that all my time was spent

In you walked you're heaven sent

Thinking 'bout all the nights you cried

Had a certain passion

And I had silly dreams

All of the vicious actions

Don't close your eyes to me

I wish I had a camera lens

To film the things my mind had said

Before they reached my mouth and got all bent

Looking up the skies of blue

All day long I think of you

Even after all the shit we've been through

Had a certain passion

And I had silly dreams

All of the vicious actions

Don't close your eyes to me
