Ways of looking

Give me all your lovin' and I'll give you all of mine
We can wash out all the red flags,
Hang them on the line
If we paint 'em into the corner we'll wait for it to dry
We can take our time

I lost my head in an avalanche
The world turned over when I least expected
Buried me under my great plans
Why can't it ever be easy?

And then all the sparrows and the coronets
They played their own version of "Taps"
Just when it seemed about hopeless
You counted one to ten
There were so many ways of looking
Catch your breath
It can be easy if you just let it

I lose my sense at the sight of you
The effortless way you take the worst news
You said "You can move mountains with your point of view"
Doesn't have to be so hard

And then all the sparrows and the coronets
They started in with their same old set
Before we guessed what it meant
We counted one to ten
There are so many ways of looking
Catch your breath
It can be easy if you just let it

Give me all your lovin' and I'll give you all of mine
We can wash out all the red flags,
Hang them on the line
If we paint 'em into the corner we'll wait for it to dry
Even if it takes about all night
Cause I can't think of anywhere I'd rather
Spend my time
