Set the table in the courtyard Silent movie black and white We developed in a darkroom Came to focus out of sight But certain things just never die I could feel you in my life A flower blooming in reverse Light pollution in the sky You were holding onto me While you held the midwives hand And I would sing my songs to you Picture how you used to stand In my doorway, backed by light By the kitchen sink at night Limbs all tangled in the sheets I pray for mercy in repeats I try to string into words The way the years have chipped away They were crawling on their bellies New year's eve and Christmas day On your birthday and on mine When the wind would hit my face SongtexteI always hoped the gust of wind Had brushed across yours on the way You think of me from time to time When I was yours and you were mine But we lost a baby, lost our love And I just wasn't good enough Darling we parted long ago We couldn't see around the bends You're the one that got away And I just want it all to end I sip my wine around my smiles Shining eyes my body stills What a lovely meal my darling I couldn't taste the sleeping pills I set the table in the courtyard Silent movie Black and white I will wait for you to join me For an endless summer night For an endless summer night But the neighbours smelled the burning I had left the oven on Revived at 5 o'clock this morning I guess there's something I forgot Lying here I see it clearly I never wanted to forget I would make myself remember Pathetic junkie for regret But I will not be victim to The broken love I have for you If I can dig a hole to die in I'll build a life to live in too Aus Songtexte Mania
