Sinéad lohan people and tables lyrics

the people and tables are set to the bone 

the ladies in waiting long to go home 

wallflowers drooping against pastel shades 

oh for a man with no lock on his gate 



waiting for nothing confuses the mind 

letting go pieces for no one to find 

the smell from the afternoon sits in the air 

oh for a man with no back to his chair 



i never wanted i never wanted 

and i never got i never got 

i never wanted i never wanted 

and i never got i never once got 



sweeping the outskirts and keeping the jar 

something had been telling me you were not far 

from a jewel in a casket to a pearl in a shell 

oh for a man with no stories to tell 



i never wanted i never wanted 

and i never got i never got 

i never wanted i never wanted 

and i never got i never once got 



the people and tables are set to the bone 

the ladies in waiting long to go home 

wallflowers drooping against pastel shades 

oh for a man with no lock on his gate 



waiting for nothing confuses the mind 

letting go pieces for no one to find 

the smell from the afternoon sits in the air 

oh for a man with no back to his chair 



i never wanted i never wanted 

and i never got i never got 

i never wanted i never wanted 

and i never got i never once got
