i miss the sand on the concrete floors
i miss the way it was before
no one even knew me
your eyes looked right through me
and i'm taking off your clothes
and you bloom like a rose

i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you

and where the ocean meets the land
is like the sliding of your hand
it prickles up my skin
and i can feel the changing weather
ride alone along that coast
sense memories of your ghost

i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you

deliver me (one thing occurred to me and one thing that trips me up and)
shut me up (one thing that trips me up, one thing won't give it up)
deliver me (one thing occurred to me, one thing trips me up and, one thing reminded me and i go walk alone and)
release (one thing you won't release and one thing won't give me peace
deliver me (and one thing will never go and know when i can go home and)
deliver me

through the airport corridors
in the magazines in stores
if i see your face once more
cos you know i can't ignore it
i recognize that pose
when you bloomed like a rose

i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you
i can't get away from you

the jeep gets broke on a blown out road
and i'm a tourist with a real light load
will the government hold one month away
missed our places where we always stay
how come we always pick these spots
feeling like a have and the land of have-nots
sleeping on cots, wishin' that I had some tater tots

and there's postcards written i know i'll never send
the moment is gone and won't come again
i ride with souls who find no peace
still I look to you to find release
find release, find release

and the travelers return
through the panic doors
walking through the airport corridors
welcome back now from the foreign shores
and i walk alone
and the ghost that I carry is yours
tiger shark is azure blue
i hope the vision you had returns to you
