Sugarplum Elegy

Seven months older Air’s getting cold our bed’s startin’ to creak God knows where you are I’m here waiting for love through a screen You show me the outfit you chose For the dinner and tonight’s show Must be nice to be your clothes Second to none even at your worst Sometimes I wish you’d put me first Nowadays you’re such a blur We keep dancing around the innocent truth that we’re just Out of time ooh Must I die before you feel alive ooh A curse in a graceful disguise I love you too much to stay in love How are you darling How are you really How was Taiwan you never say Thanks for the flowers but you’ve been here hours Yet your coat’s still very much on Tiptoein’ around the bitter truth but we both know It's just time ooh Must I die before you feel alive ooh A curse in a graceful disguise Great was our love it was one for the books We gave it the best that we could But I won’t recite all my lines just to watch you and I lie I’m so proud I got to love you once
