Sighing Innocents

Tanita Tikaram

Give me a stand

A standing ovation, baby

Give me a road

Which I can tail

You don't know nothing, baby

So don't pretend

Or you might pay

Cost

It's costing me nothing, baby

I might feel some shame

But I don't care



And if you won't mind

Just moving the fireside, baby

I'd rather be cold

Than lying over there



No, this ain't sighing innocents

This ain't sighing innocents

No this ain't sighing innocents

I'm just trying to follow you



And if you walk

I might just tag along

It only be shop talk, some

Well that's something to do



Or I might take a walk down

By the river, baby

But no I won't

No I won't be waiting for you



No, this ain't sighing innocents

This ain't sighing innocents

No this ain't sighing innocents

I'm just trying to follow you



Sorry but sense

That (no one will miss you)

That no one will miss you

If you die



They might send a wreath

They might send a reason

They might send a reason

But us, we know



Join in the sus

It's always the same man

He's taking a stroll

And then they tie him to his ghost

I know it's sad



But you never listen

No, you never listen

You just drive home
