Beady Belle

Tonight 
There must be people who are gettin' what they want 
I let my oars fall into the water 
Good for them 
Good for them 
Gettin' what they want 
Gettin' what they want 

The night is so still that I 
Forget to breathe 
The dark air is gettin' colder 
Birds are leavin' 

Tonight 
There are people gettin' just what they need 
Tonight 
There are people gettin' just what they need 

The air 
Is so still that it seems to stop my heart 
I remember you in a black and white photograph 
Taken this time of some year 
You were leaving against a half-shed tree 
Standing in the leaves the tree had lost 

The night is so still that I 
Forget to breathe 
When I finally exhale it 
Takes forever to be over 

Tonight 
There are people gettin' just what they need 
Tonight 
There are people gettin' just what they need 

Tonight there are people who are so happy 
That they have forgotten 
To worry about tomorrow 

Somewhere people 
Have entirely forgotten about tomorrow 
My hand trails in the water 
I should not have 
Dropped those oars 
Such a soft wind 
Such a soft wind 

Tonight 
There are people gettin' just what they need 
Tonight 
There are people gettin' just what they need 
Tonight 
There are people gettin' just what they need 
Tonight 
There are people gettin' just what they need 

Tonight
