Unloveable

In a coffe bar from another time
It's always 1959
Drinking up the hour
And calling it a day
All your gypsy years
Have danced away
And like a dog upon a string
A three legged mongrel
Urchin king
Neon sign above your head
Flickers red
Unloveable
Unloveable
Unloveable

And when the shadows
Give you up
And older things
Need care and love
And Heaven's warm
When life's a little colder
Now you're older
Unloveable to be
But loveable to me

Eros winked and beckoned me
One night his arrow threatened me
I met a dancer
Lad a dance
I wouldn't chance
A real romance
And one night in the Regency
Some lady tried to mother me
I left because she smothered me
Can't you help me I'm alone
To be embraced
By the night and the city
Unloveable

And when the shadows
Give you up
And older things
Need care and love
And Heaven's call
Becomes a little bolder
Now your older
Unloveable to be
But loveable to me

Unloveable to be
But loveable to me
Your loveable to me
Unloveable
Unloveable
Unloveable
Unloveable
Unloveable
