Bonny

Prefab Sprout

I spend the days with my vanity

I'm lost in heaven and I'm lost to earth

Didn't give you minutes not even moments

All my life in a tower of foil

Shaded feelings, don't believe you

When you were there before my eyes

No one planned it took it for granted

I count the hours since you slipped away

I count the hours that I lie awake

I count the minutes and the seconds too

All I stole and I took from you

But Bonny don't live at home, he don't live at home

Words don't hold you, broken soldiers



I count the hours since you slipped away

I count the hours that I lie awake

I count the minutes and the seconds too

All I stole and I took from you

But Bonny don't live at home, he don't live at home

Words don't hold you, broken soldiers

All my silence and my strained respect

Missed chances and the same regrets

Kiss the thief and you save the rest

All my insights from retrospect

But Bonny's not coming home, he don't live at home

Save your speeches, flowers are for funerals
