St. Valentine Words & Music: Tim Kochanski * Copyright 2009
St. Valentine, I got leavin’ on my mind There’s no reason good ‘nough to stay in this town When my baby’s miles away
The sound of airplanes in the sky Roaring louder than ever before Like the calling of the wild Like a knockin’ at your door
Chocolate hearts are turning soft Bodega roses bloom in cellophane The air is cold, but winter’s old When the birds fly north I’ll do the same
Cause the world turns through the night Balancing darkness and light I’ve been one sided for so long A see-saw ride I’m getting off
St. Valentine, I got leavin’ on my mind There’s no reason good ‘nough to stay in this town When my baby’s miles away
Morning truckers, headlights on Before the A.M. traffic rage A sunrise glare across the windshield Like blind love leading the way
As far as the eye can see Slick city women, perfumed and dressed up tight A small town boy could do some damage Squeezing virtues into vice
But a thousand rowdy nights Ain’t worth one minute by her side I’ve been one sided for so long A see-saw ride I’m getting off.
