Alice - Tell Me Boy Lyrics

I've been lonely in the city
Is there someone I could call
Is there anyone I should have left for you
Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies
I bet you know that this was right
I can see it in your eyes, you can't lie
The stillness makes me sick
No more than a boy you are
Hands are shaking eyes are sweating
While I'm waiting patiently through slow time

Tell me what you do
When there's no reason to be back soon
Tell me what you do
When no one is really after you
Tell me, boy
Tell me

Tell me what you do
When there's no reason to be back soon
Tell me what you do
When no one is really after you
Tell me what you do
When you dance to your own tune tell me

Walk me out
You'd better lift me up
You'd better find the way to get back to me

Dancing on the sand
Sit and drowse all day and night
The tide is rolling in as I check
The cold-water lap
To be the object
Of such irrational fear of love
Is to dream knowing dreams are
Nothing like the things we do
The love we had you painted black
The love we had you painted black

Tell me what you do
When there's no reason to be back soon
Tell me what you do
When no one is really after you
Tell me what you do
When you dance to your own tune, tell me

Tell me what you do
When there's no reason to be back soon
Tell me what you do
When no one is really after you
Tell me what you do
When you dance to your own tune tell me

Tell me boy
Tell me boy
Tell me boy
Tell me boy
Tell me boy

But the sweetest soul
Has no grudges no
Expectations, so
I'll let you go
'Cause the love we had
You took it back
The love we had
You painted black
