[ Featuring the Portraits ]
Like a kiss on the forehead
In a room full of portraits
Like a gentle hand sliding down your face
You would wait on the corner
On a cold Monday morning
This is all I can recall
From a love that should've lasted long
Our love should've lasted long
I don't listen to the Beatles
And I get the pins and needles
When I see you strolling down the street
With your big brown eyes a-flashin
Watching all those people rushing
Off to something new to repay
For a love who came far too late
Our love came far too late
But love don't wait up
Love don't wait for me
For me
Please be gentle, please be subtle
I'm just writing from the bottom
All I'm whining is for no more
Than a love that should've lasted long
Now it's time to sleep sweet Alice
In the city's drunken alleys
I know Wonderland is not too far
And love shouldn't be so hard
Our love shouldn't be so hard
Our love should've lasted long
Our love should've lasted long
