Couldn T Call It Unexpected No 4 Macmanus lyrics

I saw a girl who`d found her consolation
She said `One day my Prince of Peace will come`
Above her head a portrait of her father
The wilted favour that he gave her still fastened to the frame
`They`ve got his bones and everything he owns I`ve got his name`

Well you can laugh at this sentimental story
But in time you`ll have to make amends
The sudden chill where lovers doubt their immortality
As the clouds cover the sky the evening ends
Describing a picture of eyes finally closing
As you sometimes glimpse terrible faces in the fire

We`ll I`m the lucky goon
Who composed this tune from birds arranged on the high wire

Who on earth is tapping at the window
Does that face still linger at the pane?
I saw you shiver though the room was like a furnace
A shadow of regret across a young mother`s face
So toll the bell
Or rock the cradle
Please don`t let me fear anything I cannot explain
I can`t believe I`ll never believe in anything again?
