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 twist You touched my face to take an eyelash that I missed You "Let's not go out tonight, let's not go into town" And as you kissed my neck, I said "We can't let down" And now the over, I don't know what to do I watched two fall in love, and one of them... Was you
And now we're lying only inches Though it might be twenty And it's a quiet kind of inside As I see radiant smiles The air is loaded things we cannot say I try to hold you, but you sigh and turn I tell 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 small-talk, very small You were soon in conversation with a I didn't know She me of someone else: me, ten years ago I found you still there two hours later, long time to leave I wonder, did you I saw her hand upon 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 it might be twenty miles And it's a quiet of dying inside As I see your smiles The air is with things 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 each other in the dark One sleeps, the other cannot, and dissects chance remark The satin upon its hanger shimmers like a ghost To the transience of things we've loved the most The silver shoes are in box, not kicked aside in haste And as you turn the lights off, your kiss is strangely Now our familiar feels terrible and new I watched two people in love, and one of them was you
And now lying only...
And a quiet kind of...
The air is loaded with things we say...
I myself...
changed.
