Newport

 

 

Thank you for the weekend
Thank you for the time that we spent
It’s not enough
It could never be enough
but for now I’ll make do with memories

Thank you for the phone call
Your voice makes me feel good all over
Although I hate the distance between us
While you’re on Mars,
I’ll phone you from Venus

Thank you for the things that you can’t sell
You lend them to me and I treat them very well
or at least I’ll try to

Thank you for that letter
I felt bad but it made me feel better
Although I’d rather hold you in my arms,
it’s fun to read your linguistic charms

Thank you for the book you lent me
it fried my head, but it did it gently
I turn the page and I see your coffee stain
and I start to think about you again

Thank you for the things that you can’t sell
You lend them to me and I treat them very well
or at least I’ll try to

This is a song of gratitude
I know that the lyrics are quite crude
but I hope you appreciate the attitude
cos this is my way of saying “Thank you”
Yeah, this is my way of saying “Thank you”
I feel I really ought to say “Thank you”
