(originally by Jane Siberry)
it's clear to me now
I understand
a jump of cards
in an idle man's hand
ohhh...you're sleeping
the same sad pillow
said you're leaving
I can win you with reason
I can make you agree
the way that I love you
it only makes sense
that you love me
but down through the sad facts I'm sifting
you did not think this
without help from me
I've called a taxi
it's coming at dawn
I said send the best one
Cause it's a long, long, lonely ride
to find the perfect lover for your lover
and the morning sun's just waking
love is a strange thing
it depends what one gives
and sometimes to give means
to give someone away
it's only the trees outside flailing
it's only the sirens that are wailing
hurry up driver
you're going too slow
can't you go faster
Cause it's a long, long, lonely ride
to find the perfect lover for your lover
and the morning sun's just waking
it's clear to me now
