Words Of Avoidance Lyrics

Eskimo Joe Words Of Avoidance

1, 2, 3, 4

Needle in the back says I love you baby
One was a lion and the other was a flock of birds
Can tell me head from my heart much lately
One gets light while the other falls like her

And it always seems
Like the longest dream
When you're all alone
Is he coming home?

Round and round they fly, the needle dips into the dye and I'm yours
This is just the reason why the lion dies and no one tries to call

But he comes the rain again,
Falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to notice
So why do you let it get to you?
You try to call but no one, nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you?

You father left here when you were still tender
Nothing but your brown eyes looking for a painted wing
He said, "Honey take the kids to your mothers, I
Think I'm gonna lose control and I don't know why"

And it always seems
Like the longest dream
When you're all alone
Is he coming home?

But he comes the rain again,
Falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to notice
So why do you let it get to you?
You try to call but no one, nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
And here comes the rain again

He's just running late again
You try to call but no one, nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you?
Come falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you?

You're old enough to notice
You're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you?
Old enough to notice
You're old enough to know this
You know who you are
