The Mater

(专辑： Shape Of Silence - 2018)

I fell into you in the shadow of the staircase
Washed my hands of you in the kitchen sink
And in that house I knew we'd never close this distance
You said baby, we are closer than you think
So I made love to the idea of your involvement
And the conversation we had in the dark
You said you'd never judge the way I solve my problems
Then you left me in the garden talking art

I just wished we laughed in time, that's all
I just wished we laughed in time, that's all
That's all

Fell out of my soft head the night we left The Mater
Bravo maestro, never seen the sky so pink
Fell into your soft bed and stayed the morning after
I said, "Baby, we are colder than we think"
So I made love to the idea of your approval
And the conversations we had with our hands
I don't go in for that sort of thing, I told you
Then I sang, "Stand By Your Man"

I just wished we laughed in time, that's all
I just wished we laughed in time, that's all
That's all

I should have told you then that I had slipped you on inside my head
There are bits of you in every journey home
Is it so bad, I like the way I look from your side of the bed
You said baby, did you think I didn't know?
Still, I made love to the idea of our collusion
And the conversation we had on the floor
While the backroom boys earned our disapproval
Come on David, sing one more

I just wished we laughed in time, that's all
I just wished we laughed in time, that's all
That's all
