lyrics
By the time we saw the fire
It had done all that it could do
And it cared little how you felt for me
Or I for you
It took tights pair by pair
It took dresses you were waiting to wear
It took you blindly, an unquiet lady,
It left a ruin
For a time in your life you followed where secrets led
And you left me asleep in the bed
Gulped the cold air
Let it conjure the sight of him there
Waiting for you – just you
And stretching his tired arms
As the fire went crackling on
As the fire went crackling on
And you’d slip back warm and rosy
And we’d pretend I’d never woken
Until I saw you stood stone still
In the street below our sill
Your arms shocked white by the light of the moon
And barely a thing covered you
But the fog of your breath
I took a new dress from the floor
And waited as I had before
But you returned still marble cold
And damp to our door
It was done
And taking my tired arm
The fire went quietly out
The fire went quietly out
It had done all that it could do
And it cared little how you felt for me
Or I for you
It took tights pair by pair
It took dresses you were waiting to wear
It took you blindly, an unquiet lady,
It left a ruin
For a time in your life you followed where secrets led
And you left me asleep in the bed
Gulped the cold air
Let it conjure the sight of him there
Waiting for you – just you
And stretching his tired arms
As the fire went crackling on
As the fire went crackling on
And you’d slip back warm and rosy
And we’d pretend I’d never woken
Until I saw you stood stone still
In the street below our sill
Your arms shocked white by the light of the moon
And barely a thing covered you
But the fog of your breath
I took a new dress from the floor
And waited as I had before
But you returned still marble cold
And damp to our door
It was done
And taking my tired arm
The fire went quietly out
The fire went quietly out
