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