I've returned I've returned I've returned Last night I played the drunken fiddle Disabled love with a word of dribble On and on about some jumbled subject I said your friends were a bunch of muppets Said your sister should've grown a moustache Said you didn't need to take off your mask Down the staircase I made my stagger I left you cryin' but it didn't matter And so I sat inside my car in wonder A headache in my head like the thunder I chewed my nails like a guilty victim I couldn't see or feel the night or nothin' I wanted to explain, but oh so clever Love was like it was some endeavor Then I don't remember who said what, when On a stack of paper I placed my pen And when I woke up in the mornin' Beside you in the bed My mouth was full of nothin' My arms around your head I don't know how I got there But I didn't want to check Now back between each other We're salvaging our wreck Now I've returned You throw our jigsaw all over the floor We're at the deepest deep I thought our love had died forever But it just went to sleep I've returned I've returned I've returned I've returned I've returned
