Sailing

I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon

But to settle down and write you a line

I've been meaning to phone you

But from minnesota

Hell it's been a very long time

You wear it well

A little old fashioned

But that's all right

Well I suppose you're thinking

I bet hes sinking

Or he wouldn't get in touch with me

Oh I ain't begging or losing my head

I sure do want you to know

That you wear it well

There ain't a lady in the land so fine

Remember them basement parties

Your brothers karate

The all day rock and roll shows

Them homesick blues and radical views

Havent left a mark on you

You wear it well

A little out of time

But I don't mind

But I ain't forgetting

That you were once mine

But I blew it without even tryin'

Now I'm eatin' my heart out

Tryin' to get a letter through

Since you've been gone

It's hard to carry on

I'm gonna write about the birthday gown

That I bought in town

When you sat down

And cried on the stairs

You knew it did not cost the earth

But for what it's worth

You made me feel a millionaire

And you wear it well

Madame onassis got nothing on you

Anyway my coffees cold

And I'm getting told

That I gotta get back to work

So when the sun goes low

And you're home all alone

Think of me and try not to laugh

And I wear it well

I don't object if you call collect

Cos I ain't forgetting

That you were once mine

But I blew it without even tryin'

Now I'm eatin' my heart out

Tryin' to get back to you

After all the years I hope

It's the same address

You wear it well
