Black Dress – Ed Harcourt – letras

For days I’ve searched for the wordsSo I don’t make a mess of thisI’ll trade my eyes for a fleeting wishI woke at 7amThe cold air was not becomingThis tune I started hummingAnd you lay there so stillWith dark eyes shut and whiskey breathYou hadn’t taken off your black dressThe curtain fell from it’s railI shut the window so it wouldn’t shatterBut it was nothing it didn’t matterTo me our lives are barely built to lastHow did you creep up on me so damn fast my dear?I sat in the kitchen and thoughtI’ve had a few knocks here and thereWas mostly my fault so I don’t careYou said I have a bad sideIt comes when all the clocks have stoppedI feel my heart begin to dropTo me our lives are fast approaching deathSo let’s go out in my suit and your black dress my dearYou will come back
