lyrics

Walk away, like I knew you would.
It's okay - it all went south in Santa Fe,
There's no one we should blame.

Don't let me down, Alexander
(The train is comin', don't start runnin' away.)
Take me with you, Alexander
(I'm goin' to always love you, anyway)
Don't let me down, take me with you.

Remember the time I lost my mind?
You held your breath, I promised I'd come out of it.
Don't start the countdown yet.

The radio never played my songs.
I didn't care - it's just as long as you were there.
Now I hear them everywhere.

Don't let me down, Alexander
(The train is comin', don't start runnin' away.)
Take me with you, Alexander
(I'm goin' to always love you, anyway)
Don't let me down, take me with you.

I wouldn't look if I were you,
I'd do things people should never do;
A prayer and a bottle of Scotch,
A city in which to get lost.

Here, at the end of avenues,
On nights I spent with the black and blues,
I wander the streets all alone
Like it's a waltz with a ghost.

Best described as "rock & soul," the band extracts its influences from the girl-groups of the Motown and Spector era, and the R&B crooners of the 1970s. ... more
