Gin & Tonic Sky

On a lonesome evening, when rain turns pavement black

I put you on a train, I'd never see you back again

'Cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why

And the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky

Gin and tonic sky

Well I put you on a train, you should have heard the engine's laughter

Sayin', "I'm takin' hey away and don't come running after"

You gave me one last cold kiss, colder than steel

This would be the last time

And my tears were like vinegar burning in my eyes

Burning in my eyes

'Cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why

And the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky

Gin and tonic sky

Please swear you won't take her from me now

And I always said train stations gave me a lonesome feeling

'Cause from someone somewhere they were stealing, stealing

Na na na na na, na na

And to hear the train's arms a violently pumping

And a little ruby heart inside me a thumping,

I was my own man now, a soldier on a battlefield,

A grains of sand on a gold dust beach

A one man band with an empty open hand

A one man band with an empty open hand

'Cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why

And the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky

Gin and tonic sky

'Cause you were leaving, I couldn't fathom why

And the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky

Gin and tonic sky

Gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky

Gin and tonic sky, gin and tonic sky

Sky oh! Gin and tonic sky
