(Intro) (x4 bars) (verse 1) It was early in the morning, We were sitting on the stoop, There wheeled away a starling And I thought that I would too. Ohhhhhh for all I knew, I was lost through and through, (Bridge) In my high heels and my old dress With my new keys in the wrong city........................... I tie the knots to remember in my heart. So I choke and I sputter to a stop. I am a borrower and lender of the lot. (verse 2) (x2) I walk away asleep And chalk an outline round the scene. This shadow play of whiskey talk, A heavy denier dream. Ohhhh let it be, I was lost in him and me. (Bridge) In my high heels and my old dress With my new keys in the wrong city................city........... I tie the knots to remember in my heart. So I choke and I sputter to a stop. I am a borrower and lender of the lot. (Instrumental) (x12) (Bridge) In my high heels and my old dress With my new keys in the wrong city In my high heels and my old dress With my new keys in the wrong city................city........... I tie the knots to remember in my heart. So I choke and I sputter to a stop. I am a borrower and lender of the lot. I tie the knots to remember in my heart. I tie the knots to remember in my heart. So I choke and I sputter to a stop. (finish on long )
