I wore my satin dress tonight, my silver high-heeled I dabbed my skin with sweet perfume, the one you me choose I did my hair the way you like, up in a simple You touched my face to take away an eyelash I missed You said "Let's not go out tonight, let's not go town" And as you kissed my neck, I said "We can't let down" And now the evening's over, I know what to do I watched two people in love, and one of them... Was you
And now we're only inches apart Though it might be miles And it's a kind of dying inside As I see your radiant The air is loaded with things we say I try to hold you, but you sigh and turn I tell myself not estranged But in one evening, everything's
You held my hand as we walked in, each detail I I around the party making small-talk, very small You soon in conversation with a girl I didn't know She me of someone else: me, ten years ago I you still there two hours later, long since time to leave I wonder, did you know I saw her hand upon sleeve? Then you drove home or was it me? The journey is a I two people fall in love, and one of them... Was her
And now we're only inches apart Though it might be miles And it's a quiet kind of dying As I see your smiles The air is loaded with we cannot say I try to hold you, but you sigh and away I tell myself we're not But in one evening, changed
And now two lie beside each other in the dark One sleeps, the other cannot, and dissects each chance The satin upon its hanger shimmers like a ghost To illustrate the transience of things we've the most The silver are in their box, not kicked aside in haste And as you turn the lights off, your kiss is strangely Now our familiar sanctuary feels and new I watched two people in love, and one of them was you
And now lying only...
And it's a kind of...
The air is loaded with things we say...
I myself...
changed.
