We Three

Every Sunday

I would go down to the bar

And leave him the guitar

You say you want me

I want another

Say you dream of me

Dream of your brother

Oh, the stars shine so suspiciously

For we three

You say when you were with me

That nothin' made you high

We drank all night together

And you began to cry so recklessly

Oh, baby, please

Don't take my hope away from me

You say you want me

I want another, baby

You say you wish for me

Wish for your brother

Oh, the dice roll so sadly

For we three

It was just another Saturday

And everything was in the key of A

And I lit a cigarette for your brother

And he turned and heard me say

So desperate, "Please, baby, please

Don't take my hope away from me"

You say you want me

I want another

You say you pray for me

Pray for your brother

Oh, the way that I see him

Is the way I see myself

So, please stand back now

And let time tell you

Can't you see

That time is the key

That'll unlock the destiny

Of we three?

Every night on separate stars

Before we go to sleep

We pray so breathlessly

Baby, please

Don't take my hope away from me
