The Co-Conspirators

Lyrics

Take the children to your mother’s place
See if they can spend the night.
Hurry home, put some records on
We’ll dance once more in the fading light

The story goes, “She’s too good for you”
Might be true, might be a lie
I only know, when your ship comes in
You climb aboard you enjoy the ride

It’s a story of contentment
It’s a story with some lies
History tell us what we’re heading for
The history of the world is in your eyes

Grab your coat we’ll walk on down the road
To where the river gets slow and wide
You say my name, you catch my eye
Tell me what you want and why

Your eyes stay with me, the rest of you is gone
Couldn’t be more far away
I’m feeling bolder, I’m feeling sure
At the dawn of this new day 

It’s a story with some sadness
Closing up and drawing lines
I’ve looked as close as any man can do
History of the world in your eyes
History of the world in your eyes
History of the world in your eyes
