Peter Noonan - Little Gestures Lyrics

Little hands making little gestures
Like the ones you see in westerns
The bullets pointed straight at me

Cock your thumb and you spin the barrel
One eye shut the other is narrow
No second chances for me

So why do I
See a little smile
At the corners of your lips
You say "Say goodbye"
And you think I might
So you don't even know
It'd take a much, much bigger gun than that to make me go
Don't make me go

You hold my head under water
Need a breath so I think I oughta
Tell you the truth of why I'm so blue

Not just a lack of love to the brain
Bubbles float up and I feel your pain
Need relief I know you need it too

So why do I
See a little smile
At the corners of your lips
You say "Say goodbye"
And you think I might
Then you don't even know
It'd take a much, much more than this to make me go
Please don't let me go
Please don't make me go
Please don't let me go
