I Drew You Sleeping Lyrics by Paul Smith

Margins

0

In a bed and breakfast in Brighton
I can't consent to kissing with the lights on
The hiss of tapes before bedtime
Keeping quiet while the floorboards squeaked
Inexpensive reproductions
Of diamond-studded tears
Beneath the silk screen
Cardboard surface
Felt and Fraser shimmer
I drew you sleeping
As the new year came in
Dark italian hair amongst my faded striped linen
Caressing your tender skin
And now that faded piece of paper
Is the only remnant of our love
You came back and shrank this city
You gave these streets a reason to be
Please let me listen to one last song
Before I leave the house - I don't mind if it makes me late
I drew you sleeping
As the new year came in
Dark italian hair amongst faded striped linen
Caressing your tender skin
I will be left behind if I can't move on
I will be left behind 'cause I can't move on
He's taller than you and He's taller than me
I can see him everywhere
I drew you sleeping
As the new year came in
Dark italian hair amongst my faded striped linen
Caressing your tender skin
The light caught your tender skin
