Paroles de Mexico

On the back lot of that studio in Mexico
And there I spy
Your slightly worn ill-fitting uniform
Light caught your eye lit up your iris
As you went by us
You looked right at me
You stared just long enough to raise one eyebrow

I wanted you to be forthcoming when I listened quietly
Stretched on my bed in the hotel
Did you think if we kissed you'd go to hell

Arrival by train
It had been a year or so since we left mexico
I told myself not to get my hopes up too much
We got on fine
A lot of use of the past tense and shared silence
We even discussed my recent confession
And your impression

I knew where it would lead when
You ordered us Guinness number three
How could i have been misled
When you told me to shut up and share the bed

You don't believe that you could feel Now I'm not the sort to let losses linger
Or point a finger
In spite of all this
I only care that you're happy
Truly happy
Snd as for me
I won't be distant; I'm quite resilient

Once in a while
jJust so that you know
I think of Mexico.
