Prefab Sprout Lyrics
"Bonny"

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, I 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)
Bonny 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 don't live at home, (he don't live at home)
Bonny don't live at home,

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)
Bonny don't live at home (he don't live at home)
Bonny don't live at home (he don't live at home)
(Save your speeches, flowers are for funerals)
