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