about

Words and music by Mark Sheehy.

lyrics

meet me in Mexico
there's a little town I know
where the tortilla ladies grant wishes
if your heart is true
and we'll count the days
like dominos lined up in a tray
and everything will be the same

meet me in London Town
it's a garden that's half underground
you be the one in the sun dress
I'll where the rain
and we'll count the days
like buskers outside Hammersmith Palais
and everything will be the same

you pluck out your grey hairs
send them to me in your letters
how they make their way to my wallet
I just don't know
the pennies I find on the sidewalk
can make it all better
who's to know
who's to know

meet me in old Saigon
we'll catch a bus and ride cross town
and give up our seats to old ladies
in gingham and cane
and we'll count the days
like bicycles blocking the right of way
and everything will be the same

you pluck out your grey hairs
send them to me in your letters
how they make their way to my wallet
I just don't know
the pennies I find on the sidewalk
can make it all better
who's to know
who's to know

we met in Petersburg
we met in Spain
we met in so many places
I've forgotten their names
now I count the days
like the whiskers I watch
washing down the drain
and nothing's ever been the same
