lyrics

Through the wires I’ll be watching
As your evening fades to grey
As the teapot keeps you company
Lends an ear until the night
Well there’s no end in sight
Find someone though you might
I’ll crash into you again
————————————————
In my room there is a ghost
She sleeps beside me in the morning
I watch her dress and brush her hair
Then she runs towards the light
But God puts up a fight
And flings her down through the clouds

————————————————
Tell me the story of your silence
I’ll type it out on yellow paper
Maybe I’ll write a different ending
Where gleaming princes storm your tower
————————————————
And there your leaves are going brown
But here the snow begins to melt
And I remember what you told me
That I’d be better off alone
Well I’m almost never right
And this song’s not quite right
So I’ll just buy you flowers
Next time I see you
