Lirieke: Joseph Arthur. Temporary People. Turn You On.
She opens every door
Never calls you by your name
And when you say it?s time to go
She looks at you like you?re insane
But when she hears you play
She tries to sing along
She gets up and dances on the chair
Makes you laugh when she sings
You say I don?t turn you on
Until it?s time for me to go
She only cries at night
When the children are gone
She gets up to ???? her eyes
In the blue light of the dawn
Laying on your chest
She's like a tiny cat
Brought up and broken on the street
You know shes the only one that even knows where you're at
You say I don?t turn you on
Until it?s time for me to go
She says crawl over here
I got something else to say
Poring whiskey in your coffee cup
She says I swore you liked it that way
She tells you how to stay alive
Acting like she?s cleaning up your place
You can see every single star in the sky
Written on the expression of her lonely face
You say I don?t turn you on
Until it?s time for me to go (repeat 3x?s)
Never calls you by your name

You say I don?t turn you on
Until it?s time for me to go
She only cries at night
When the children are gone
She gets up to ???? her eyes
In the blue light of the dawn
Laying on your chest
She's like a tiny cat
