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
