I’LL QUIT Lyrics
I’ve done everything but part the sea
To try to get you to notice me
I’ve set off flares, sent smoke signals through the air
But nothing comes except a jet-stream
That swiftly blows all my best attempts away
And thin air’s all I have left with ‘til the day
I die or realize there’s no use in crying anymore
It’s not as if you’ll wash up on shore
Like I imagine in my dreams
Where you’re dressed in clam-diggers and I in dungarees
I more often than not catch myself
Wondering how I got to be such a bore
My grandest gestures go undetected
Even my mother don’t give me the “what-for”?
Oh, I could send in the marines and you wouldn’t think twice
or fashion a sculpture of your likeness out of ice
And people would pass and say at best “That’s nice, let’s carry on”
Come on baby, give me a reason to believe in love again
Again, I am hurting in as many ways as you can name
Tell me when, tell me when, tell me when this’ll quit
And I’ll quit.
