I want to be there with the sunrise,
When the sunlight's dancing on your skin
Leaving shadows between your fingertips, where I'd like my hands to have been.
Laid across you like your covers
Tangled like the tales I spin
And when I return from my traveling,I would like you to wonder where I've been
(chorus)
But I'm A Far Cry from handsome
And you just sit there and shine
And I'm under no delusion
That a man like me is on your mind tonight
You sip your wine I'll drink my whiskey
I'll tell every lame joke I know
And while you pretend to understand them, in your head you'll wonder, when its okay to try and go
I'm afraid to make any kind move
Afraid to leave fingerprints on the painting
Men like me shouldn't be near a masterpiece, no our art is saved for dirty barrooms.
(chorus)
