I Start Counting — Still Smiling lyrics

Lyrics

As the sun sets through the CO2
I think of things connected with you
Have you left the job
Do you still play the records that I gave away
I write down the dreams you’re in I write down the dreams I have of you
Some are set on earth
Others set elsewhere
Are you still smiling
Still, still smiling
I see the sharp eyed girls in magazines
Cutting through their clothes
With their shoulder blades
I try to ignore the sense of it Watching me from their eyes
Are you still smiling
Still, still smiling
July was the last time I spoke to you
I’m one of life’s losers you said
Such useless tricks my mind plays on me Imagining the past is still to come
Pretending I can recapture
That lazy hot summer not so long ago
Are you still smiling
Are you still smiling
Are you still smiling
