Wendy

Wendy left me all alone

No postcard or telephone

Wintertime down by the beach

The jukebox bar way out of reach

She liked tom waits and the poet's hat

Sixties kinks and Kerouac

Through the night her taillights fade

Her selection never played

I don't know I don't know I don't know why

Checking the tears and the light in your eyes

I don't know I don't know I don't know

My little baby will make it alone

Wendy took me with a smile

Country lips and Bacall style

Through Tangiers or to Bombay

Her self portrait in the U S A

I don't know I don't know I don't know why

Checking the tears and the light in your eyes

I don't know I don't know I don't know

My little baby will make it alone

Dreams dying slowly

We don't want to be alone

Dreams dark and holy

We don't want to be alone

Thinking the things that I can't erase

Hole in my heart and a gun in my face

Feeling the things that I can't describe

I don't know I don't know I don't know why

I don't know I don't know I don't know why

Checking the tears and the light in your eyes

I don't know I don't know I don't know

My little baby will make it alone

I don't know I don't know I don't know why

Checking the tears and the light in your eyes

I don't know I don't know I don't know

My little baby just wanted to go

Dreams dying slowly

We don't want to be alone

Dreams dark and holy

We don't want to be alone

Wendy let down Wendy get down

I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know

I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know
