Loose Ends (Studio Outtake - 1979)

We met out on open streets When we had no place to go I remember how my heart beat When you said, "I love you so" Then little by little We choked out all the life That our love could hold No, no It's like we held a noose And baby, without check We pulled it a little tighter around our necks Each one waiting for the other Darling, to say when Now baby, you can meet me tonight on the loose end We didn't count tomorrows We took what we could and baby we ran There was no time for sorrow Every place we went, I held your hand And when the night closed in I was sure your kisses told me all I had to know But oh no It's like we held a noose And baby without check We pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks Each one waiting for the other Darling, to say when Oh baby, you can meet me tonight on the loose end Our love has fallen around us Like we said it never could We saw it happen to all the others But to us it never would Well, how can something so bad, darling Come from something that was so good? I don't know But it's like we held a noose And baby without check We pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks Each one waiting for the other Darling, to say when Oh baby, you can meet me tonight on the loose end On a loose end On a loose end On a loose end On a loose end On a loose end On a loose end On a loose end On a loose end
