The Penguin Song Lyrics by Richard Inman

Richard Inman

2016

I ain't the kind to tell you I miss you
You ain't the kind to care too much
And if I said that I don't care I'd be lying
And you'd still believe that I'm lying to you
Time seems a bad friend, and hardly a lover
I'm a poor lover and an even worse friend
So listen in rainfalls, the wind and the treetops
The call of the highway is waiting on you
And I'm like the penguin, I was given wings
But I long for the blue sky and not the blue sea
Next year come this time, I hope to be living
Somewhere near nowhere with you missing me
Years come with lessons, and leave me with nothing
You still love everything 'cept for me
So wander the cities that you used to dream of
Wander the foothills that still haunt my dreams
I'd wait a decade, two if you'd come back
Let me die happy and let me die true
So I'll sit the sidewalk, wait on the pusher
And take all he has to offer and go
Drink from the fountain that robs us of youth
I wait on you, someday he'd come back to me
I know I was never too much to look at
You with your long looks and smile like a breeze
So dance with the summer, dance with the rainfall
Dance with every man that's here in this place
And I'll wait forever, I'll wait on summer
I'll wait on rainfall, and I'll wait for you
You look like heaven, a little smoky ballroom
I look like hell with my arms stretched to you
And I still look like hell with my arms stretched to you
