Life was good when we were younger
We were hungry for each other
Love can't go without water
And I don't blame her
I know that there's no time
When we're lying in the sun
I don't notice anyone
She lies in wait like a California widow
So sweet when she's up high
So steel when she's low
When you're home late
She's waiting by the window
Practising her best smile
Trying not to let go
You were different when I met you
I think I changed you
And it didn't turn out right
And I'd give away mywords now
To the one who listens in the night
When we're lying in the dark
I'm not sure you have my heart
She lies in wait like a California widow
So sweet when she's up high
So steel when she's low
When you're home late
She's waiting by the window
Practising her best smile
Trying not to let go
Couldn't leave you if I tried
We are bound until we die
She lies in wait like a California widow
So sweet when she's up high
So steel when she's low
When you're home late
She's waiting by the window
Practising her best smile
Trying not to let go
She's trying not to let go
