Sir Walter - The Book Club

She said oh, I’ve called you fourteen times

I said oh-oh-oh, I didn’t realise

She said when on earth will you get home?

And I’m thinking woah-oh-oh, just leave me alone

She just can’t stand to be lonely

And I quite like being alone

And the closer she pulls me

The more that my mind wants to roam

Ah I didn’t tell you 'cause I knew that you’d disapprove

Quarter past four and then more and still no word

Now the morning is breaking and the key is forced upside down

And I didn’t want to knock but this lock is being stubborn and cruel

And I’ve been desperately thinking upon my way home

Of the perfect excuse to extend my parole

Now the castle is sinking

Because it’s not made of stone

I make promises that I can’t keep

And then I kiss her on the forehead

While she sleeps

I make promises

'Cause she just can’t stand to be lonely

And I quite like being alone

But the closer she pulls me

The more that my mind wants to roam

I make promises that I can’t keep

And then I kiss her on the forehead

While she sleeps

I make promises
