Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Gray, quiet and tired and mean

Picking at a worried seam

I try to make you mad at me

Over the phone

Red eyes and fire and signs

I'm taken by a nursery rhyme

I want to make a ray of sunshine

And never leave home

No amount of coffee

No amount of crying

No amount of whiskey

No amount of wine

No, no, no, no, no

Nothing else will do

I've gotta have you

...

The road gets cold

There's no spring

In the meadow this year

I'm the new chicken

Clucking open hearts and ears

Oh, such a primadonna

Sorry for myself

But green, it is also summer

And I won't be warm

'Til I'm lying in your arms

No amount of coffee

No amount of crying

No amount of whiskey

No amount of wine

No, no, no, no, no

Nothing else will do

I've gotta have you

...

I see it all through a telescope

Guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat

Lying in the back of the blue boat

Humming a tune

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

...

No amount of coffee

No amount of crying

No amount of whiskey

No wine

No, no, no, no, no

Nothing else will do

I've gotta have you

I've gotta have...

No amount of coffee

No amount of crying

No amount of whiskey

No amount of wine

No, no, no, no, no

Nothing else will do

I've gotta have you

Gotta have you

I've gotta have you

...
