lyrics

Give me all your loving
And I’ll give you all of mine
We can wash out all the red flags
Hang them on the line
If we paint into the corner
We’ll wait for it to dry
We can take our time

I lost my head in an avalanche
The world turned over
When I least expected
Buried me under my great plans
Why can’t it ever be easy

Then all the sparrows and the cornets
They played their own version of taps
Just when it seemed about hopeless
You counted

One to ten
There are so many ways of looking
Catch your breath
It can be easy if you just let it

I lose my sense at the sight of you
The effortless way you take the worst news
You said you can move mountains
With your point of view
It doesn’t have to be so hard

Then all the sparrows and the cornets
They started in with their same old set
But before we guessed what it meant
We counted

One to ten
There are so many ways of looking
Catch your breath
It can be easy if we just let it

Give me all your loving
And I’ll give you all of mine
We can wash out all the red flags
Hang them on the line
If we paint into the corner
We’ll wait for it to dry
Even if it takes about all night
Cause I can’t think of any way
I’d rather spend my time
