Lyrics
As the daylight dissolves
Into the weather for wool
& the trees scratch the sky
'Till it pours a purple,
In your torn dress & scarf
Drawn so taut by the wind
You imagine yourself
As a Magritte heroine.
Solitude, sweet solidarity,
But no one says bless you when you sneeze.
I can tell you're in love by the pain in your eyes,
I can tell that he's not by the way that you cry.
It's you,
I can tell you're in love.
I can tell you're in love by the pain in your eyes,
I can tell that he's not by the way that you cry.
It's you,
I can tell you're in love.
I can tell you're in love.
As the dusklight gives way
To undercarriage neon
& the thump of the bars
As the miles pass along,
& your home is no help
'Cause the rooms spin around
& you're bed's always too big
When you wait for the dawn.
Solitude, sweet solidarity,
Is cold comfort when the faucets freeze.
I can tell you're in love by the pain in your eyes,
I can tell that he's not by the way that you cry.
It's you,
I can tell you're in love.
I can tell you're in love by the pain in your eyes,
I can tell that he's not by the way that you cry.
It's you,
I can tell you're in love,
I can tell you're in love,
I can tell you're in love.
Hold on,
Hold fast,
Hold on,
It's almost dawn.
Hold on,
Hold fast,
Hold on,
It's almost passed.
Hold on,
Hold fast,
Hold on,
It's almost dawn.
Hold on,
Hold fast,
Hold on,
It's almost passed.
