Lyrics

The power in my mouth moves and enthralls.
The strength that's in my hands builds and binds and betters.
But the monsters in my bed send me to the hall
and on out of the door to our old haunts and stomping grounds.

The city's lonely with you around like you never were
and are only ever now and forever.
The city's lonely with you around.
All these loving words fall wasted to the ground and I collect them.

Neighbours say, "Could you kindly keep it down?"
I raise my voice as I defend your honour.
The tears surprise me when they come as you did when you walked
on out of the door to brand new haunts and stomping grounds.

My new place has all the things we loved.
I can't escape the way we made our pleasure.
I strain to hear your voice answer when I call.
I close my eyes and pretend you're in Heaven.
