There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree

Nothing but a pair of calloused hands? (ooooh ooooh)

Lost to the night tide growing in me
(I’ve been saying to ya)
(I’ve been saying to ya)
(I’ve been saying to ya)
(I’ve been saying to ya)
Amaj9
Singing to the drunks like they're mom and dad

(I’ve been saying to ya)
(I’ve been saying to ya)
