I ain't used to sittin' on the wire, babe
But I thought I'd give it a try
All I know is it makes me feel tired, babe
Without you I just fall all the time

I ain't used the standin' on the sea, babe
Without your hand to steady the waves
Now a chilly breeze and I feel frail, babe
Sinkin' to the bottom of the night

Should've kissed you by the piano
Should've held you in the rain
Seems like these moments come to pass us by
Feel like they'd never be the same

Should've hid you in the shadows
So they don't look to you as prey
Could've made you feel so strong by now
Put you in the summer rain

I ain't used to starin' at the dark, babe
You've seen me through all the summer year
But you are never there, I'm at my best, babe
And the light, it's found a new place to live

I ain't used to watchin' the clouds pass by
The green grass feels nothin' like your hair
If I'm asked to stay another day here
I might as well join them up there and fly

Should've kissed you by the piano
Should've held you in the rain
Seems like these moments come to pass us by
Feel like they'd never be the same

Should've hid you in the shadows
So they don't look to you as prey
Could've made you feel so strong by now
Put you in the summer rain

I ain't used to skippin' down the lane, babe
With all the trees, a blossomed spring
But now, since I know that you are gone for good
I'm leaving with the breath of the wind

Should've kissed you by the piano
Should've held you in the rain
Seems like these moments come to pass us by
Feel like they'd never be the same

Should've hid you in the shadows
So they don't look to you as prey
Could've made you feel so strong by now
Put you in the summer rain
