[00:16.91]
[00:18.91]I waited by your bedside,
[00:20.97]And couldn't close my eyes all night.
[00:23.96]I named you like a prayer.
[00:28.86]It's anybody's guess how,
[00:30.91]The angel of doubt came down,
[00:34.05]And crept into your bed.
[00:37.46]
[00:39.55]But after we danced to the shipping forecast,
[00:43.86]The words escaped your mouth:
[00:48.95]"I know it's gotta stop love, but I don't know how."
[00:56.38]
[01:15.95]Now the stairs forget your shoes,
[01:18.01]And the gate don't creak for want of you.
[01:21.25]But the jury's out on me.
[01:24.16]We're wise beyond our years,
[01:25.77]But we're good at bad ideas, my love.
[01:29.08]Or so it seems to be.
[01:32.50]
[01:33.03]Shine a little light,
[01:34.64]Don't wrestle with the night,
[01:36.45]Don't think about the future now.
[01:40.26]I know it's gotta stop love but I don't know how.
[01:47.19]
[01:49.27]My little one, my kettle drum,
[01:53.36]I know I had a message at the start.
[01:56.81]My babel tongue, my come-undone,
[02:01.07]I know I had a message at the start.
[02:04.09]
[02:04.65]My prison kiss, my dying wish,
[02:08.56]I know I had a message at the start.
[02:13.20]But it up and abandoned us,
[02:15.98]when we were sleeping in our beds.
[02:18.54]
[02:35.08]Shine a little light,
[02:36.44]Don't wrestle with the night,
[02:38.36]Don't think about the future now.
[02:42.22]I know it's gotta stop love but I don't know how.
[02:49.11]
[02:51.23]My little one, my kettle drum,
[02:55.28]I know I had a message at the start.
[02:58.77]My babel tongue, my come-undone,
[03:02.97]I know I had a message at the start.
[03:06.40]My prison kiss, my dying wish,
[03:10.50]I know I had a message at the start.
[03:15.10]But it up and abandoned us,
[03:17.90]when we were sleeping in our beds.
[03:20.73]
[03:40.28]It's anybody's guess how the angel of doubt laid down
[03:45.61]Sand beneath our house.
[03:50.73]I know it's gotta stop love, but I don't know how.
[03:59.00]I know it's gotta stop love, but I don't know how.
