Sadness always finds me
In the cold hum of catastrophe
You can see in everything that little bit of longing
In thought I passed of as a memory
There is a sombre refrain of a melody
That you are kindly wanting for you and no one else
And in that warmth of modesty
Is a folly that seems to find me
With tiny hints of a promise,
That you would not want to miss
In thought I passed of as a memory
There is a sombre refrain of a melody
That you are kindly wanting for you and no one else
To have you here to curl your hair
To bend your hips
In the way
that makes me want to stop everything else
To have you here with lovers stare
To curl your lips
In the way
that makes me want to stop everything else
Then to have my face against the back
Of your thin haired
And tired neck
As you sleep and sweat silently beside me
Breathing in and out and in and out
and in and out
In and out
Till I am asleep amid you.
You can’t just call this oddernity
Then move on so casually
Move on from me so faultlessly
So tepid and tremendously
After all this is oddernity
And I acted so thoughtlessly
But nothing is beyond me
I’m often so designed and dreary
But this is the oddernity
We have planned so carefully
We have planned so immaculately
Without cracks and sympathy
Many times you said quietly
I know you'll find your way back to me
I'll find my way back to you
