Everything But The Girl (ebtg) - Mine lyrics

Blown in winds of mischance he would stay but that's not his way What escape for her she swims in the dark In too deep but still waves - "I'm okay And I don't need his name, thank you Mine fits me nicely and mine will do" Unsteady footsteps can't walk alone yet He's sends a postcard says he's in debt Now she's treading water got a back room to let Curses in the backyard neighbors on the doorstep "You must give your child a name some time" Well you mean his and what's wrong with mine?" Sometimes she could k** him Sometimes this house gets too small She drives him to distraction To see if he will fall But if the truth were told Which it never is With a family like that Who needs enemies She'd be better on her own You sink her like a stone
