Randy Newman
Bad News from Home
[Verse 1]
High on a cliff in Mexico
Staring down at the rocks and the sea below
I can hear the church bells ring
I can hear the choir
[Verse 2]
I remember the night she left
I drove to the station in the pouring rain
Sat all night behind my big iron desk
The oil on the water made a rainbow
[Verse 3]
The end of this bone-white gravel road
They both lie sleeping on a feather bed
And her hair's as black as the sky at night
But her eyes are gray like the moon
[Verse 4]
You can run but you can't hide
You can run but you can't hide
You said you love me but I know you lied
You said you love me but I know you lied
