Questions marks in time – Dan Hill – letras

Washed out in the stillness of the nightShe’s left searchingOnce again love’s promise has been brokenAnd he ignores indifferently to the rhythm of her breathingAs she lights a cigarette and waits for morningLight years apart – they lie both togetherLike a child caught playing with matchesShe’s been burned again by fireAnd she knows she’s been betrayed by her own imaginationThe cigarette keeps burning as she curses her desire.Chorus:And she thinksShe’s the only one who’s lonelyAnd she wants the world to feel sorryAnd she’s trappedWithin her own self pityAnd she asks: will anybody love me.And on the radio an old song singsSuggesting that love is why we’re livingAs she turns the station fast.She looks down at her loverA friend of a friend of a strangerAs if his mouth might breathe an answerAnd she knows she’s getting olderThe emptiness controls herAnd the smoke curls round her fingertipsLike question marks in timeThe sun plays with the windowsAs the man wakes up beside herSilences are awkward as he reaches for his clothesAnd as he leavesShe feels suspended, invaded and rejectedThe cigarette is endedThat’s how her story goesRepeat ChorusAnd on the radio a new song singsSuggesting that love is why we’re livingIronically she laughsAs she turns the station fastShe’s given up on givingWashed out in the stillness of the night
