ELVIS COSTELLO - Upon A Veil Of Midnight Blue lyrics

rate me

Upon a veil of midnight blue

There hung a crescent moon

To light the view

But I don't whisper the words

When the moment arose

I wonder how he knows

You say your tongue is tied

Your words escape and hide

But he's so patient and kind

He's prepared to read your mind

That's very well till you find

Because of the wine you drank

Your mind is still a blank

I wonder how he knows

I guess I will wonder until

I pluck up the courage to tell him

How I feel

So close I can feel his heart tremble

That look in his eyes as they close

I wonder how he knows

I wonder how he knows
