Lyrics
Not Too Well Acquainted
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The steeples of the churches pierce the sky
The bells they call to me
Even after all that I know about their history
Studying the stained glass faces
Of the holy and the sainted
Cause you know love and I
We are not too well acquainted
You entered like a soldier
The museum of my mind
Taking what you wanted
Destroying what you left behind
The sight that brought you to your knees
Was a picture I had not painted
Cause you see love and I
We are not too well acquainted
Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't kick me out of your heart
Don't put me out in the street
Don't leave me out in the cold
Don't kick me out of your
Standing on a rooftop
To watch the planes fly in
All those people coming home
To the arms that they will lie in
This is where you kissed me
And I swear I almost fainted
Cause you know love and I
We are not too well acquainted
You see love and I
We are not too well acquainted
