The - The Twilight Hour lyrics

rate me

Your laying on your bed - & making shadows on the wall<br />

It's almost too hot to move -<br />

Outside your window -<br />

People are driving home from work - for the weekend.<br />

But your waiting for the phone to ring -<br />

Your gonna tell her exactly what you think.<br />

You practice getting your mouth around the words<br />

That explain the way you feel.<br />

You've been scared to show your real self -<br />

In case she doesn't like what she sees -<br />

You've been a "prostitute to humility" -<br />

She's invaded your life & you've got to<br />

Live apart - in order to...survive -<br />

You were emotionally independent -<br />

But starved of affection.<br />

But now you've been trapped by tenderness<br />

& been beaten into "submission"...<br />

It's now way past the hour she usually phones -<br />

& you've decided not to tell her your little joke<br />

Where could she have got to.<br />

Why is she torturing you -<br />

You roll on your side -<br />

& run your fingers through your hair -<br />

Your scared of losing her -<br />

& facing yourself -<br />

A red sky at night may be a shepherds delight,<br />

But your cutting chunks from your heart.<br />

& rubbing the meat into your eyes.<br />

She can't leave you now - you've given up all your friends<br />

Your relying on her - for your independence<br />

She can't leave you here - alone & defenseless<br />

Your relying on her for your independence<br />

YOUR RELYING ON HER<br />
