Bonny Songtext
von Prefab Sprout

I spend the days with my vanity

I′m lost in heaven, and I'm lost to earth
Didn′t give you minutes, not even moments
All my life in a tower of foil
Shaded feelings, I don't believe you
When you were there before my eyes
No one planned it, took it for granted

I count the hours since you slipped away
I count the hours that I lie awake
I count the minutes and the seconds too
All I stole and I took from you

But Bonny don't live at home (Bonny don′t live at home)
Bonny don′t live at home
Words don't hold you, broken soldiers


All my silence and my strained respect
Missed chances and the same regrets
Kiss the thief and you save the rest
All my insights from retrospect

But Bonny don′t live at home (Bonny don't live at home)
Bonny don′t live at home

I count the hours since you slipped away
I count the hours that I lie awake
I count the minutes and the seconds too
All I stole and I took from you

But Bonny don't live at home (he don′t live at home)
Bonny don't live at home (he don't live at home)

Bonny don′t live at home (save your speeches)
Flowers are for funerals (he don′t live at home)
Bonny don't live at home (he don′t live at home)
Bonny don't live at home (save your speeches)
Flowers are for funerals (he don′t live at home)
Bonny don't live at
