[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
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 seven again
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
[Chorus]
To me, our lives are barely built to last
How did you creep up on me so damn fast, my dear?
[Vere 2]
I sat in the kitchen and thought
I've had a few knocks, here and there
Was mostly my fault, so I don't care
You said I have a bad side
It comes when all the clocks have stopped
I feel my heart begin to drop
[Chorus]
To me our lives are fast approaching death
So lets go out in my suit and your black dress, my dear
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
You will come back
You will come back
You will come back
You will come back
