Set the table in the courtyard Silent movie black and white We developed in a dark room 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 midwifes 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 it repeats I try to string it into words The way the years have chipped away They were crawling on their bellies New years eve & Christmas day On your birthday and on mine When the wind would hit my face I 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 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 But the neighbours smelled the burning I had left the oven on Revived at 5 o'clock this morning I guess there was 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 be not 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
