Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer-songwriter. He began his career as part of London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s and later became associated with the first wave of the British punk/New Wave movement of the mid-to-late 1970s. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopaedia", able to "reinvent the past in his own image". more »

My dear impulsive darling I suspect my letter got to you too late
And it`s really just a silly fragment of paper
But it means so much to those who wait
All the suffering days and nights `til I dare dream again
There you suddenly stand and I`ll be damned if you
Didn't disappear with the dawn

[Chorus:]
Hours pass and darkness comes
Soon I will close my eyes
Will you return if you don`t reply
You`ll be taking my life in your hands
You`ll be taking my life in your hands
Taking my life in your hands

I don`t know why my dearest darling
I can`t tell you how I feel when you are near
When I see you have returned my letters unopened
I will tear them up, your voice ringing in my ears
But you`re kidding yourself if you think this
Correspondence will end
I can always pretend words I don`t have the courage to
Send
Reach you

[Chorus]
