 ==Lyrics==
-Will this night fulfill all our promises<br>
+C'mon let's waste another thousand years<br>
-And bury us in peace<br>
+Sitting around your kitchen table<br>
-Will it leave us free and forgetful<br>
+We'll turn the brandy into beer<br>
-Or at least bring some sleep
+Later they'll say, "What a miracle"
-Your eyes don't catch the little things<br>
+You say all you need is a right position<br>
-As they narrow on your fall<br>
+'Cause nothing in this world helps you to see<br>
-I'm checking your pulse 'cause you're so quiet<br>
+You say that you never do it<br>
-I'm kissing you but you don't feel it<br>
+Unless someone gives it to you for free
-Why do you do this to me?<br>
-Showing me all that I'm good for<br>
-Is to watch you sleep as lifeless as an angel<br>
-She was the most beautiful cloud<br>
-That ever passed before the face of a girl<br>
-Seems like nothing's too good for this life<br>
-Some things are too good for this world
-And our names and our faces<br>
+You say I never listen to you<br>
-Well they're just spare change<br>
+Well you're right about that<br>
-In memory of a soul<br>
+But I thought that I love you<br>
-That kept dropping spare change
+More than that
-Why won't you stay?
+I know you're strong enough to live<br>
+In a world where all the magic's gone<br>
+I watch your hands tremble, you reach for another sip<br>
+Now all your luck is gone
-In memory of a little girl<br>
+Look at the moon, ain't it pretty at night<br>
-Who was far too much in love with the world<br>
+Don't look away - give it a chance for once<br>
-And who didn't really wanna stick around for the end
+In it's own way it's just alive as any of us<br>
+In any way it's where you face
-Why won't you stay?
+You say I never listen to you<br>
+Well you're right about that<br>
+But I thought that I love you<br>
+More than that
