Madeleine Peyroux - Love And Treachery lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I put on my gloves tonight, pull onto the road to San Berdu<br>

They remind me of hustlers, confidence men, and you<br>

My hands are warm beneath them, and easy on the wheel<br>

Without your love and treachery the calm is all I feel<br>

<br>

I shiver in the mirror, pull my belt across my hips<br>

The leather's hard in bending as your fingers to my lips<br>

I wrap it tightly in defense as if your arms were near<br>

But for your love and treachery there's nothing left to fear<br>

<br>

I'll take a glass of wine and recall the words you spoke<br>

From the bottom of your cup, covered in spit and smoke<br>

But in your voice I'll hear my own and recognize the crime<br>

That all your love and treachery has ended up as mine<br>

<br>

I see you in the rearview with just a passing glance<br>

How your eyes shine, as if through mine, you'd see and understand<br>

As if we'd played each other but never knew the score<br>

And all was love and treachery but isn't anymore<br>

That all was love and treachery but isn't anymore.<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
