Lyrics

A Lover Loves

[Chorus]

Corneas misted, color high

Psst, psst psst psst

Motionless for seconds at a time

Psst, psst psst psst

A hand that's cold in another, colder

Psst, psst psst

And everything within reach

Psst, psst psst

[Verse]

This is a waltz for a dodo

A samba for Bambi

Gavotte for the Kaiser

Bolero for Beuys

A reel for Red Rosa

A polka for Tintin

[Chorus]

Corneas misted, color high

Psst, psst psst psst psst

Motionless for seconds at a time

Psst psst, psst psst psst

One hand that is cold in another, colder

Psst psst, psst psst

And everything within reach

Psst psst psst, psst psst, psst psst

[Outro]

It's ok
