Hello, how have you been?
Where to begin, it’s been so long
But I’ve been catching traces of your face
In different places where they don’t belong
I know you were in town lately
For a weekend by the sea
But you didn’t call me
Did you see the starlings murmurations by the pier
As the sun set in?
Cos I’ve been waiting tables
And whenever I am able to I drift away
Rehearse, replay
All the things I didn’t say
Maybe it’s better that way
So, you moved away -
Paris you say, but ain’t it burning?
Funny how the world is turning
Time the tyrant's trumpet blurting
March in line
I’ve been waiting tables
Saving pennies since last April
and I dream the day away
Rehearse, replay
All the things I didn’t say
Maybe its better that way
Time is evil
And all the beautiful people are out
I'm wretched
Burned out
All rags and misery
And woe, woe is me
All the things I didn’t say,
All the ways I made you pay
All the reasons its still raining
Maybe its better that way
Time is evil
And all the beautiful people are out
I'm wretched
Burned out
All rags and misery
Woe, woe is me
Its all the things I didn’t say,
All the ways I made you pay
All the reasons its still raining
Maybe its better that way...

I don’t know why I cloud my mind -
Cos day after day it’s all the same
I wake up feeling foggy
Pour myself a coffee
Jump in the shower
But after an hour or two, I’m blue
And it can only be you
That always pulls me
Always cools me
How does he fool me
Over and over and over again?
Stay a while
Stay and make me smile
Cos time after time I feel like I’m sinking
Line after line, and staying up drinking
I feel empowered
But after an hour or two, I’m blue
And it brings me back to you
He always pulls me
Always cools me
How does he fool me
Over and over and over again?
Don’t go to bed
Stay up with me instead
Cos its got me scared -
All this talk about sleeping
Cos when I go to bed
The darkness comes creeping
And just like a flower in bloom for an hour, or two
And then droops
Still it brings me back to you
He always pulls me
Always cools me
How does he fool me
Over and over again?
Oh he always pulls me
Always cools me
How does he fool me
Over and over and over again?
