lyrics

She mainly had eyes for the summer though native to cold mountain air
She was a midnight runner
Never belonged anywhere
A war going on in a seashell
Searching for a place to belong
Living out her last days in a basement apartment with the curtains drawn

I said, it be a shame if we
Didn't take some time to see

Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
(Oh) Tanqueray

Can I meet you one town over so my ex-husband doesn't see?
That be just the thing to get him riled up, goin' ‘round makin' more trouble for me
And I just, I just couldn't leave you, alone there, lost in some little town
Said I said, give your heart a shake and come with me now

Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
(Oh) Tanqueray

Tanqueray
Tanqueray

There in the blur of a brand new love
Stood all that were still holdin' on
To what we deserved and what we believed all along

I said, it be a shame if we
Didn't find some way to be

Tanqueray on your lips then mine
Tattoo of cheap red wine tracing the smile on your face
Tanqueray heaven high in the pine
Take a photo for another time
Should we forget how we feel
(Oh) Tanqueray
