I Settled for Her Leftovers - London Modular Alliance

When she walked in, I held my breath I thought I might just die When she came my way and she caught my eye I felt like I could cry 'Cause I never seen a room light up like that And I never felt time stand still And I didn't know a man could fall so hard At least not until I saw her for the first time And I was lonely for the last time I saw her for the first time And now I know I gotta make her mine When she walked in, my head did spin My jaw just hit the ground Stopped in my tracks like a heart attack What beauty so profound 'Cause I never seen a room light up like that And I never felt time stand still And I didn't know a man could fall so fast At least not until I saw her for the first time And I was lonely for the last time I saw her for the first time And now I know I gotta make her mine When she walked out, I felt no doubt I would see her again Up in the clouds and deep in the crowds 'Til the very end 'Cause I never seen a face shine light like that And I never felt so much will And I didn't know a man could fall so hard At least not until I saw her for the first time And I was lonely for the last time I saw her for the first time And now I know I gotta make her mine

What I dream I had Pressed in organdy Clothed in crinoline Of smoky Burgundy Softer than the rain I wandered empty streets down Past the shop displays I heard cathedral bells Tripping down the alley ways As I walked on And when you ran to me Your cheeks flushed with the night We walked on frosted fields Of juniper and lamplight I held your hand And when I awoke And felt you warm and near I kissed your honey hair With my grateful tears Oh, I love you, girl Oh, I love you

I look at her and have to smile As we go driving for a while Her hair blowing in the open window of my car And as we go the traffic lights Watch them glimmer in her eyes In the darkness of the evening And I've got all that I need Right here in the passenger seat Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road Knowing that she's inches from me We stop to get something to drink My mind clouds and I can't think Scared to death to say i love her Then a moon peeks from the clouds Hear my heart that beats so loud Try to tell her simply That I've got all the I need Right here in the passenger seat Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road Knowing that she's inches from me Oh and I've got all the I need Right here in the passenger seat Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road Knowing that she's inches from me Oh and I know this love grow Oh I've got all the I need Right here in the passenger seat Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road Knowing that she's inches from me And I've got all that I need Right here in the passenger seat Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road Knowing that she's inches from me And I've got all that I need Right here in the passenger seat Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road Knowing that she's inches from me And I've got all that I need Right here in the passenger seat

These excuses are useless We've run aground again Another day in the gutter Making one for every year we've spent together My baby used to sing all night Now she's sound asleep She settled down with a ramblin' man And found the gentle side of me We'll make time, and take time But maybe I'm no good 'Cause I have showed her these lies Long enough to know now that I should My baby used to sing all night Now she's sound asleep She settled down with a ramblin' man And found the gentle side of me Moments, just fleeting times With little wings of gold Remind us of how rare we find True love in every sign We're gettin' older My baby used to sing all night Now she's sound asleep She settled down with a ramblin' man And found the gentle side of me

I saw signs right before my eyes But it took me time to care No excuses, I'm feeling useless 'Cause you're not playing fair We've been played by the hand we laid Knowing we will never win Keep your turn as a lesson learned For the ending to begin 'Cause it's settled in my mind Yeah, it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind again Yeah, it's settled in my mind That it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind again Things get old because we've been told That it shouldn't be this hard You won't give because I won't take We've conflicted from the start 'Cause it's settled in my mind Yeah, it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind again Yeah, it's settled in my mind That it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind again 'Cause it's settled in my mind Yeah, it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind again Yeah, it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind again (again) 'Cause it's settled in my mind Yeah, it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind again Yeah, it's settled in my mind That it's settled in my mind 'Cause it's settled in my mind again
