Two​-​Lane Blacktop

from O by Burnt Norton

/

lyrics

I was there in the bedroom, helping you take off your clothes. You flickered a smile, batted your eyes, I've never seen anything so beautiful. A lightning glimpse of flesh, a place I barely knew, all these awful things I do, when I am alone with you. Every mistake I ever made held together in your swimmer's frame. Ms. Simon said it, "Baby you're the best," held together in a summer dress. A lightning glimpse of flesh, a place I never knew, these awful things I do alone with you. A two-lane blacktop in New Mexico, a diner full of faces that I will never know.
