ELVIS COSTELLO - Still lyrics

rate me

These few lines I'll devote

To a marvelous girl covered up in my coat

Pull it up to your chin

I'll hold you until the day will begin

Still

Lying in the shadows this new flame will cast

Upon everything we carry from the past

You were made of every love and each regret

Up until the day we met

There are no words that I'm afraid to hear

Unless they are "Goodbye, my dear"

Still

I was moving very fast

But in one place

Now you speak my name and set my pulse to race

Sometimes words may tumble out but can't eclipse

The feeling when you press your fingers to my lips

I want to kiss you in a rush

And whisper things to make you blush

And you say, "Darling, hush

Hush

Still, still"
