lyrics
Now what is this that we hide behind the veil
A reverie that is left to leave stale
A fountain which we don’t drink
A moment we must see to sink
but are you cold in the city this morning?
Was there a message in the tea you were pouring?
A Christian mark from your ceiling fell
I heard you had a story to tell
And over your shoulder the smoke it does go
An absent jealousy that only you would know
I guess it's time to count myself out
I failed to figure what the story’s about
But I could not feel you near
And your voice is absent from my ear
And I never felt your touch
Yet I miss you so much
So much
Turning back the way we came
As the engines perverted my brain
And I doubt what memory and reality has to say
Under the London plane as the rumble ran away
A reverie that is left to leave stale
A fountain which we don’t drink
A moment we must see to sink
but are you cold in the city this morning?
Was there a message in the tea you were pouring?
A Christian mark from your ceiling fell
I heard you had a story to tell
And over your shoulder the smoke it does go
An absent jealousy that only you would know
I guess it's time to count myself out
I failed to figure what the story’s about
But I could not feel you near
And your voice is absent from my ear
And I never felt your touch
Yet I miss you so much
So much
Turning back the way we came
As the engines perverted my brain
And I doubt what memory and reality has to say
Under the London plane as the rumble ran away
