A Thread Cut With A Carving Knife

[Verse]

It was a hot and sultry afternoon

Sometime at the end of June

We had collapsed ourselves in shade somewhere

To conclude our love affair

But it was too damn hot to speak that much

It felt easier to touch

So we forgot to fall apart that day

And the next day

[Verse]

It was a cold and endless sky above

When he decided he was through with love

The leaves were piles of skeletons

And he was only skin and bones

And then he went to the bridge so he could fall

And drop down far away from it all

But the water looked so black and deep

And he closed his eyes and he went to sleep

Till the next day

[Verse]

The snow fell hard from five to five

You had to drink to stay alive

But you were hoping it would kill you too

At least you'd have something changing you

'Cause you were cold as the ice at your front door

You raised a trembling glass and shouted, "Fuck the world!"

And then you fell into oblivion

Lying on your bed with your shoes on

Till the next day

[Chorus]

Baby, close your eyes until tomorrow

It could bring joy, it could bring sorrow

But it will come sure as light

Try not to dream a dream tonight

Imagine that you're standing here

And suddenly you disappear

A thread cut with a carving knife

That is what they call our life

[Chorus]

Baby, close your eyes until tomorrow

It could bring joy, it could bring sorrow

But it will come sure as light

Try not to dream a dream tonight

Imagine that you're standing here

And suddenly you disappear

A thread cut with a carving knife

That is what they call our life
