I Drew You Sleeping

歌詞

In a bed and breakfast in Brighton I can't consent to kissing with the lights on The hiss of tapes before bedtime Keeping quiet while the floorboards squeaked Inexpensive reproductions Of diamond-studded tears Beneath the silk screen, Cardboard surface Felt and Fraser shimmer I drew you sleeping As the new year came in Dark italian hair amongst my faded striped linen Caressing your tender skin And now that faded piece of paper Is the only remnant of our love You came back and shrank this city You gave these streets a reason to be Please let me listen to one last song Before I leave the house - I don't mind if it makes me late I drew you sleeping As the new year came in Dark italian hair amongst faded striped linen Caressing your tender skin I will be left behind if I can't move on I will be left behind 'cause I can't move on He's taller than you and He's taller than me I can see him everywhere I drew you sleeping As the new year came in Dark italian hair amongst my faded striped linen Caressing your tender skin The light caught your tender skin
