Patchwork Lyrics - Drugstore

(tindersticks cover) 

Well I know it's wrong 

And I know it's selfish 

It's such a short life 

There's so little time 

You see this pattern 

A patchwork without any direction 

All cobbled together 

In odd shape and size 

Take my hand now 

We'll go through this mess together 

But my hands are sweating 

You somehow slip away 

I tried to phone you 

No need to shout, now 

I tried to love 

But never looked that hard 

'cos this blues is a swirling ocean 

The green, my ambition 

Red is the passion 

There's a lot of red 

There's a lot of red, oh... 

Such a short life 

It's such a short life 

Yeah...
