Poets Lyrics by Acoustic Junction

Live 5-4-99

0

[Verse 1]
In a coffee shop, landlocked poets of the world
Alone in a corner, a handsome young girl
Watches closely the years in our eyes
As winter sets in, submerged in disguise

[Hook 1]
Don't put us in categories, we don't belong in them
All that I know is all that I see

[Verse 2]
I see highways, buildings all in a line
Drawn like a poet to a bottle of wine
I see you, you're alive, I've known things that have died
Which only a memory keeps them alive

[Hook 2]
As we shout into laughter, and evening is near
And all that's unknown is all that we fear

[Flute Solo]

[Verse 3]
He lives by his words, a poet I can tell
Cigarettes and whiskey remind him as well
Alone in a corner, a handsome young girl
A-looks in his eyes and sees the whole world

[Hook 1]
Don't put us in categories, we don't belong in them
All that I know is all that I see

[Verse 2]
I see highways, buildings all in a line
Drawn like a poet to a bottle of wine
I see you, you're alive, I've known things that have died
Which only a memory keeps them alive

[Hook 2]
As we shout into laughter, and evening is near
And all that's unknown is all that we fear
Oh

[Instrumental Outro]
