I swam naked in the harbour
As the sun was going down
The last of us were packing up
And clearing out of town
Sometimes I think I see you
And I hope someday I do
With the flowers on the waste ground
Still blooming out of view
I had it all right from the start
Only to watch it fall apart
I thought that nothing was hard to lose
If only I know
There were troubled teens and drag queens
Lock-ins by the score
Sparks and fire on my lips
And keys to every door
I knew how to run
But never learned to fall
Living hand to mouth
And still the richest of them all
I had it all right from the start
Only to watch it fall apart
I thought that nothing was hard to lose
If only I know
And I remember that first evening
Singing John Prine till dawn
Round the iron stove on Sitric Road
With my big wool coat on
Feet upon the chair
Curled up like a newborn child
Peaking out under your hair
I felt lucky for a while
I had it all right from the start
Only to watch it fall apart
I thought that nothing was hard to lose
If only I know
