The Reigning Sound - What Could I Do? lyrics

He sailed ten thousand miles across an ocean Before he ever saw land He was funny lookin' and people mistook him For a clown in a sailor's suntan As he approached he offered me a smoke And told me he was looking for you..... Now what could I do? I knew you were once a ballerina I guess he knew you then too We kissed and we'd talk The sweet smell of chalk still lingers there in my room There were days when you went away I guess you were seeing him too What could I do? What have I done to offend you? I tried as hard as I can Who would it me? Him or me? Now that he's returned for your hand I packed my things and I turn in my wings For your heaven can only go to But what could I do?
