It's clear to me now   I understand   A jump of cards in   An idle man's hand      Oh, oh, you're sleeping   This is the story of your   Leaving      I can win you with reason   I can make you agree   The way that I love you   It only makes sense that you love me      But down through the sad facts I'm sifting   You did not think this a without help from me      I've called a taxi   It's coming at dawn   I said, ?Send the best one?   It's a long, long, lonely ride   To find the perfect lover for your lover   And the morning light's just breaking      I thought I heard someone screaming outside   But it was only a bus pulling away      Love is a strange thing   It depends what one gives   And sometimes to give means   Give someone away      Oh, oh, you're sleeping   The same sad pillow   Said you're a leaving      I move with your breathing   I breathe with your beauty   Your sweet heaviness   Your deep voice, your soft neck   I press my face, did you call me?      It's only the trees outside flailing   It's only the sirens that are wailing      Hurry up driver   You're going too slow   Can't you go faster?   It's a long, long, lonely ride   To find the perfect lover for your lover   And the morning light's just breaking
