Letting Go

(Difford/Tilbrook) She plaits her hair, I bite my nails We balance love on the scales I wind the clock and go to bed Our love is hanging on a thread She gets undressed, I undress too The draft is cold in my bedroom We cuddle up and say goodnight It's all the love there is tonight. I can't be brave enough She cannot say what we're feeling Day after day We're going through the motions We find it hard to let each other go She boils the eggs, I make the tea Outside the sun shines on the street We're at that point here love has gone The fuse is lit, it won't be long I take a walk, she cleans the house This is the end, I'm in no doubt But neither one of us can show The slightest sign of letting go
