For days I`ve searched for the words
So I don`t make a mess of this
I`ll trade my eyes for a fleeting wish
I woke at 7 am
The cold air was not becoming
This tune I started humming
And you lay there so still
With dark eyes shut and whiskey breath
You hadn`t taken off your black dress
The curtain fell from its rail
I shut the window so it wouldn`t shatter
But it was nothing it didn`t matter
To me our lives are barely built to last
How did you creep up on me so damn fast my dear?
I sat in the kitchen and thought
I`ve had a few knocks here and there
Was mostly my fault so I didn`t care
You said I have a bad side
It comes when all the clocks have stopped
i feel my heart begin to drop
To me our lives are fast approaching death
So let`s go out in my suit and your black dress my dear
