Veronica Said Lyrics

Veronica stared at the ring on her hand
She said "Nothing in life goes according to plan
For you cannot control what you can't understand
So you take what you can and you hold it"
Veronica shivered and paused for effect
Pulled her windbreaker tight lit a fresh cigarette
She said, "Nothing turns out like you're led to expect
So you make what you can of the moment"
And the wind's blowin' cold on the waterfront tonight
And the winter's so close you can taste it
We got nothing but plenty of time on our hands
And so many ways we can waste it waste it
Veronica straightened and looked at the sky
Turned her back to the moon as it started to rise
She said "Not every word in this world is a lie
Those who cannot trust cannot be trusted"
And the wind's blowin' cold on the waterfront tonight
And the winter's so close you can taste it We got nothing but plenty of time on our hands
And so many ways we can waste it waste it
Instrumental
Off in the dark someone laughed at a joke
Veronica's eyes caught the night as she spoke
She said "I'll tell you one thing it isn't all smoke
You can raise yourself up you can raise yourself low
You can receive the most inconceivable blow
But where ever you are and where ever you go
There is one thing to see there is one thing to know
So hold on to this pact and hold on to this close
It will serve you and serve you in high and high low
That whatever the depth to which you sink below
No two??? can be corrupted"
And the wind's blowing cold on the waterfront tonight
And the winter's so close you can taste it
We've got nothing but plenty of time on our hands
And so many ways we can waste it waste it
