So the wEind that blows across your room,

CaArried cheap perfume onto your dresser,

It rained for jeEwelery and for credit cards,

Two tiAckets to a film I don'tE remember,

One daAy you'll kiss your rabbit's nose, pick up the phone,

To find I've been turnedE over,

You gArab that piece of gold,

Only to find that the smell has taken oEver,

And all the things youA had,

They aren't the saB7me

As what you hoEld

Now I'm stEandin' in a room,

That's filled with olAder folks,

They're pleading babyE listen,

And I scrEeam as loud as anyone,

But when asAked to make a point,

I tend to wEhisper

Now hAighways turn to tidal waves,

And they're asking me to export all of your Einsecurities,

But that wiAnd that blows across your room, it's gonna set the sails,

And send me back to yEou, oB7oh,

Chorus

THE MELLOW ONE

E Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,

A Think twice, about where they're anchorin'

AndE I think, I could make better use,

A Of my time on land,

I'll dErink less,

Cause Lord knows I could use a,

A Warm kiss instead of a cold goodbye

F♯ I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,

A Hey I'm doing all right
