Touch And Go Lyrics

In a room full of silver shadows

 A customary kiss goodnight

 And it slips through your tightened shoulders

 It reaches your heart and dies

 

 And the sadness is bound to kill me

 But I'm too far away to care

 And I'd just like to know if you will

 Oh could I even get there

 

 Oh

 Back to the touch and go

 When not a soul could know

 When your lovin' was slow

 We lived every night for the touch and go

 

 Now there's no one in the night to blame you

 No one in your glasses of wine

 I never won I only tamed you

 Foolishly I called you mine

 And your pacing in your cage every morning

 And you rattle your chains every night

 And you stare past the bars never knowing

 With nothing left to put up a fight

 

 Oh

 Then we would touch and go

 When not a soul could know

 Oh your lovin' was slow

 And we lived every night for the touch

 Oh I remember 

 The touch and go

 When not a soul could know

 Oh your lovin' was slow

 We lived every night for the touch and go

 

 Are you still breathing

 

 Tonight the scent is in the city

 Tonight it's on the radio

 Tonight I'll leave the key beside the door

 Tonight I'm gonna touch and go

 

 Touch and go
